Take the strut from the left and use this
there is a fatty that comes and does it
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.
worn shock/strut/ spring.
you will need to rent a strut spring compressor tool from your local auto parts store, first locate the top of your strut on the inside of your trunk, there should be three nuts located at the top of the strut..one on the strut itself and two on each side...second pull the tire off the side that your working... third compress the strut spring with the tool, then with a adjustable wrench hold the top of your strut, while unscrewing the nut on top with a (13mm or 14mm ) wrench...forth locate the bolt on the bottom of the strut remove it(16mm or 17mm)and the strut will come down....remove the old strut and replace with new one...re-install

how do i replace the front strut on 1999 Saab 9-3
Near the plenum behind the right side strut
The low side service fitting is located near the right side of the strut tower (inner) near the fire wall. It is located on the upper a/c metal/rubber hose. The high side fitting is located on the lower a/c refrigerent line to the left side of the right strut tower. Hope this helps
About an hour, but it can be dangerous without the right tools and knowledge.
You've got 4 mounts total. A transmission mount, then on the other side of the motor, you've got a mount that goes to the middle of the engine that is in the fender, and upper torque strut and a lower torque strut on that same side.
Yes, most definitely. You must always replace struts and shocks in pairs. Replace one front shock or strut then you must replace both. Same for the rear.
