To change the struts on a 1986 Oldsmobile 98, first safely lift the vehicle and remove the front wheels. Next, detach the strut from the steering knuckle and the upper mount by removing the necessary bolts. Replace the old strut with the new one, securing it to the upper mount and the steering knuckle. Finally, reassemble the wheel, lower the vehicle, and ensure everything is tightened properly before taking it for a test drive.
If it's a 98 or prior, It will have shock's all around which you can do yourself easily.
