This job has some potential dangers if fitting new struts and swapping over the coils, and is best done by a professional. If you need more info on how to do this job then I would suggest you have a professional do it or a more experienced friend work with you.

How do you replace right front shock on 1997 Toyota Previa?
Pretty tricky. But you need to buy the manual. It is all there. The thing to consider is that the shock is actually a strut. The strut assembly includes the spring. You have to remove the entire strut assy to replace the strut. To remove the strut assy, first the tire has to come out. Then, disconnect the brake line, unless there is a bracket that allows you to just slide it out. Then remove the three nuts on top of the strut. The tricky part here is that access to those three nuts are tight, so you have to disconnect some ducts, access panels and brackets under the glove compartment. Once the three nuts are out, remove the bolt attaching the strut to the bottom arm. You need a heavy duty spring compressor to separate the strut from the assy.
How do you remove 94 Toyota Previa front struts?
There are three nuts holding the strut to the body. Get access by removing panels under the dashboard. Getting a wrench or a socket to get to the nuts is a challenge. The wheel needs to come out, and a brake line needs to be disconnected. Replacing the strut itself requires a heavy duty spring compressor.

Does a 1992 Camry have struts and shock absorbers in the front or just struts?
All Toyota Camry's have struts in the front. This is also accompanied with strut mounts and bearings that are located between the mount & strut. I highly recommend replacing the mounts & strut bearings with the struts. My experience has shown that the mounts fail before the strut.
How do you replace the front struts on Hyundai Sonata 2000 model?
To replace the front struts on a 2000 model Hyundai Sonata, you will first need to remove the tires. There will be 3 nuts on top of the strut mount. You will need to remove the 2 bolts that connect from the strut to the knuckle. Then you will need to remove the ABS sending unit as well as the front brake hose. Once these components are removed, you can remove the strut. In order to remove the strut, you will need a special tool to compress the spring. Once the struts are removed, you can safely replace them with new struts.
How do you replace front coil spring ford escort 98?
To replace the strut you have to jack up the car on the side you want to do and take off the wheel. Then, take it loose from the strut tower on the top. There are 3 or 4 nuts. Then take it loose from the steering knuckle on the bottom. The whole strut assembly lifts out. To replace the coil you have to have a strut compressor. It compresses the coil spring so the top of the strut can come off. Once the top of the strut is exposed the coil can be taken off the strut.
