front struts go behind the wheels and in the front and rear shocks go in the back
The front struts on a Mercury Sable are replaced by jacking up the vehicle, removing the wheels, and supporting the vehicle on jack stands. The retaining bolts can then be removed, the struts taken out, and new struts put in place.
Bad Struts
Most commonly, vehicles in the past 20 years or so have STRUTS in the front and SHOCKS in the rear. Sportier vehicles will have struts at all four wheels.
The Airbus A380 has 22 wheels. Two smaller 'auxiliary' wheels on a single strut at the front, two sets of under-wing 4-wheel struts and two sets of fuselage mounted six-wheel struts.
To replace the front struts on a 2000 Toyota Echo, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the front wheels. Next, disconnect the strut assembly by removing the bolts that secure it to the steering knuckle and the top mounts under the hood. Install the new struts by reversing the removal process, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reattach the wheels, lower the vehicle, and perform a wheel alignment.
The primary drive wheels are the front wheels - therefore, those are the wheels that should have the chains placed on them.
