How do you change rear struts on 2001 Hyundai xg300?

Answer 1

First off you'll need a strut compressing tool because I don't think the struts are sold with the spring. It's quite a job. Easier with air tools, but can be done with hand tools. Jack up the rear of your car, remove tire, remove bolts from the trunk area (there should be 2 or 3). There's a bolt on the bottom of the strut that needs to be removed. Then the whole assembly should come out. You may need an extra jack to support the rotor(put a piece of wood on jack so you won't accidentally damage the rotor) when you remove the strut assembly. Then use compression tool to squeeze the big spring. If you go to auto parts store, they can also print instructions that will be more in depth from what I'm typing here. That may be more helpful for you. Good luck. I'd have a buddy helping too. lol.
