Depends entirely on the make of car, some do, some don't.
front struts go behind the wheels and in the front and rear shocks go in the back
go under the car and un screw it jackass

It cant. They are connected. If the front car moved faster than the back car it would pull away from the back car.
Struts wear out on a car because they tend to rust. A person that does a lot of winter driving will probably have to replace struts in a car once while it is owned, if kept for a long time.
You really have to take them lose and look but it's been my experience that the mounts can go before the struts. My Alliance was so bad the upper mounts where totally separated at 150000 but the struts were fine. Also, to check the struts themselves w/o removing, go to front of your car, put your hands on the bumper and push the car up and down really fast, then let go. If the car continues to bounce more than 3 times or keeps going for awhile, they are shot. Do the same with the rear.
probly the brakes ware rod that tells you to replace the pads...if not then its a wheel barring getting ready to let go. jack the car up if you can, and find the wheel that is grinding and put your hands on the top of it and push. if it moves back and forth then it prob you barring. and check your struts!!!!!! i have a 98 grand prix that will grind when going around coners and it was the front struts
The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You may want to go to a car parts store, or book store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.
Normally, the muffler will be in the back of the car. If you are looking towards the front, or upstream from the muffler, then you should see 1 or possibly 2 catalytic converter(s).
no the struts don't need to come off but make sure you have a way to compress the springs when you go to put it back together. when i say no they don't need to come off i mean completely off but the bottom needs to disconnect from the spindle.
Im not sure if you have an adjustable front end if you replaced the front struts or not, or if you went with a bigger tire size. Either or I would recommend that you go with the manufactorers specs or go to your local tire shop and ask them what tire size is suitable with your car.
Probably means you have a "front wheel" drive car....your front tires are what make your car go, not the back. I have front wheel drive on my car and once on a rainy day...my front wheels spun out taking off from a stop sign...wierd! I hate front wheel drive cars!
