replace coil springs in a nissan 300zx
a test to tesy ur strut assembly is to rock the car on the front and see if it returns in one rebound if not it is time to go and get some new springs
You will need to compress the strut spring with a spring compressor. When the strut spring is compressed remove the strut retaining bolts. There is a strut retaining bolt on the top and the bottom of the strut assembly. Reverse the process to install the new strut.
To replace the front strut mounts on a new Corsa, begin by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheels. Next, detach the strut assembly by loosening the bolts securing it to the steering knuckle and the top mount under the hood. Replace the old strut mounts with new ones, reassemble the strut assembly, and ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reattach the wheels and lower the vehicle.
The cost to replace a front strut rod bushing on a 1998 Nissan Maxima is between $50 and $150, for a person who does it on their own. The cost varies based on the part brand or kit bought.

It has 4 struts. The front uses a regular strut assembly. The rear struts have replaceable cartridges.
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.
Remove the bolt on the botton of the Strut. Detach the steering Knuckle. Remove the three nuts on top and remove the strut from the car. Do not try and disamble the strut without a spring compresor. Get a whole new strut. Good luck
That sounds like a broken or loose strut assembly.
You have to take the whole strut assembly off (shock and spring). Then with a spring compressor on the coil spring, take the top nut off the strut shaft and take the spring off. Once the spring is off the whole strut assembly is replaced which will contain a new shock. Then you already have the spring compressed, so you put the old spring on to new strut (shock) put the top back on, release the spring and tighten the nut. You have to have a vise to clamp the strut into to replace the strut body.
