As far as tools go, your most important will be the spring compressor. You can pick up a pair from AdvanceAutoParts for about $40.
14mm sockets/wrench
23mm socket/wrench
Also you can borrow a loan-a-tool from Autozone or Advance Auto. You pay a deposit for the spring compressor and you get your money back when you return the compressor.

Need to replace all 4 struts on minivan how much?
Struts can cost anywhere from $25 to $350 each, depending on the make, model, and size of your vehicle. Depending on which mechanic you go to, it can take about four to five hours to replace all of the struts on your vehicle. Mechanics charge an average of $50 to $120 per hour which would put your grand total at $100 to $1400 for the struts and anywhere from $200 to $$600 for labor.Ê
About how much should it cost to replace all 4 struts on a 2000 Buick Regal we were quoted over 1000 seems high?
I recently brought my 2000 Toyota Camry in to a Midas shop for a quote to replace all 4 struts and I was quoted approximately $1,000. I was also told that a wheel alignment was highly recommended after the struts are replaced so that will cost about another $100 more or less. I would guess $1,000 for 4 struts is fairly standard.

Can you just replace the shocks?
If you have worn Struts on a vehicle, those can be replaced without replacing your springs. "Struts" and "Shocks" are often used interchangeably in language, however, I believe your vehicle is a front wheel drive with a double wishbone suspension. In this case, they would be more accurately referred to as "Struts". Just for reference. In either case, the answer is still, yes. Shocks/Struts can be replaced without replacing the springs as well.

If you have a clunking from the back end of your 1995 Neon is it the shocks and struts?
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.
Why such a noisy bumpy ride even after replacing struts on 1998 Nissan sentra what else would you look for to eliminate horrible front end noise?
Struts work on the same principles as shocks do. They arre only there to stop the osolating motion after going over a bump.A lot of people replace their struts, but leave the old springs on them.This may be your problem.
