Just did them the other day. You have to take the brakes off. Them un screw the two nuts that connect the struts to the brake assembly etc. Then under the hood unscrew the 3 nuts. Then it should fall right out. Make sure you take the brake line off the struts, dont want to break it. If you have the whole assembly that should work. But if you just have the strut and not the spring you have to get spring clamps to compress the spring down then take the nuts off of the top of the strut. You have to hold the top nut so you can spin the bigger one below. That may take a special tool, or some talent.
Can you show me pictures on a dodge neon 1998 on how to remove and replace a front axle.
You can purchase the quick struts for ~$200 online, a little more at a local place like advance auto. It is a matter of replacing just a handful of bolts for each strut and is an easy task. I would imagine if a garage did it, they might want $350 for the rear and $400 for the front. The front struts are a little more expensive.
The cost to replace the shocks and struts on a 2000 Dodge Neon ranges from $120 to $1,000. This cost ranges based on the part brand and any special additives.
No. The standard neon strut is about an inch shorter. It will bolt up perfectly but the tire rubs badly. Doesn't work
are there 2 bolt ot 3 bolt on a starter on 1998 neon
nthow to change the beltson the dodge neon
Had mine done about a year ago (April 2009) for around $425 using OEM struts. 2004 SRT-4
It is on the front, under the intake manifold.
about 20 bucks
Factory rear struts would be well-worn by now (if still original), so it could be a big factor. Also, the strut tower bushing is probably worn. I have fould the Neon rear springs may have lost a bit of their cushining ability too (separate damping/rebound from the struts themselves), but often not enough to replace those when changing a set of new struts.
