Shocks and Struts

The sales tax in Fulton county Georgia is 7%.

Did you get your wheels aligned? I don't know if has anything to do with it, but I do know that they usually recommend wheel alignment with strut replacement.

the major difference is all of the moving parts in the front that turn the wheels. the back is usually just shocks or struts and springs, whereas the front has tie rods, control arms, ball joints, etc. that move with the steering wheel as well.

About $1000 for me.

Struts wear out on a car because they tend to rust. A person that does a lot of winter driving will probably have to replace struts in a car once while it is owned, if kept for a long time.

You probably have a bad rt front tire. It may be low air pressure, lost wheel weight, or alignment. The low air pressure could make it pull to the right, and so could a bad alignment. Lost wheel weight and/or alignment could make the steering wheel shake.

Think if you hit a large object, a pot hole, or ran over the curb for example this could tear the alignment up and cold weather will reduce the air pressure in your tires as well as a nail.

When you find it faulty and need to be replaced

you'll need a special tool...my friend and i just did these a few weeks ago..your only changing the strut cartridges though. Get the special tool from an autoparts store that does rentals...when your in there you'll want to replace a rubber strut bushing as well...since it's part of the job..other than that it's about 4-5 bolts each..and it's pretty easy. Goodluck. The tool is the key..keeps the strut steady while you unlock the cover.

No, you do not have to.

some lightweight oil is poured into the strut body

When you feel your wheels bouncing. Get someone else to drive your truck in a large parking lot or something and you drive slightly behind and to either side to look for visible bouncing.

Whats the procedure for replacing a 2002 Buick Lesabre front strut.?

The top of the struts is behind the rear seat,you have to pull down the two rear seats and remove the four bolts.Then lift up on the back seat and remove.You will see the three nuts of the struts for removal.But be sure to remove the bottom first.This will enable you to pry down on the supesion without the strut falling out of place on top.

Check shock mountings

Experts say they should always be replaced in pairs-like tires. There is bound to be a mismatch between rebound ratings both sides & could adversely affect handling. On the back not as critical since almost all 50/50 & no steering.

I found this link below that is how to replace strut mounts in general. I'm not sure if you have a situation specific to a 99 Intrepid. My 98 Intrepid is in the shop right now getting the front right done. I wouldn't mess with it if I were you - if those springs pop off you just might be dead. For me, new strut $100 and labor is $120. If you do it, you'll need to compress that spring, likely you'll have to cut the mount off with a torch, take the compressed spring and put it on the new strut, there will be other parts you need to salvage from your old strut, hopefully you can save the mount. http://www.tutorom.com/courses/767/Replacing-the-Strut-Mounts-on-Your-Car-Free-Auto-Repair-Instructions.htm I found this link below that is how to replace strut mounts in general.

That being said there should be no torching involved, in fact torching on a strut is even more dangerous as the gas or oil in the strut insert(the shock part of a strut) can get over heated and explode. It is a rather simple yet labour intensive process. First put the car on Jackstands. Next you want to remove the wheel, and brake parts, using a ziptie or small rope to hold the caliper up to it doesn't hang on the break line damaging it. The brake line may be held into a tab with a clip, and the tab sometimes has to be cut and bent partially to get the brake line out without disconnecting the 2 ends and the having to bleed the brakes later. Next you want to loosen but not remove the top strut mount bolts, there usually are three, they are small usually between 12 and 15 millimeters, do not loosen the big nut in the middle just yet. Next is to remove the 2 bolts holding the strut assembly to the lower control arm. You then remove the top nuts, and work the strut assembly off of the CV Axle, some cars may require that you remove the CV Axle first, and that requires draining the transmission first to avoid making a very big mess. Once the strut assembly is off the CV Axle it should come out with a little twisting. Now comes the part to be very careful with. You can usually rent this tool from your local autoparts store. You need the correct spring compressor, they should be able to tell you which one you need at the same store you rent it from. You want to get the tool as close to the ends of the spring as you can to get better and safer compression. Compress the spring until the tension is off of the strut assembly. Next you will remove the large top nut. There should be a flat spot on the top of the insert close to the upper mount that you can get a wrench on to hold it in place while loosening the upper nut. Once the nut is removed you can slide the top mount off and the spring keeping an eye out for spacers and washers, and taking note as to where and what order they came off in. be very careful with the spring as it is still under tension and can cause severe injury. My recommendation is to either place the spring some where safe and out of the way, or slowly decompress it and leave it until you are ready for re assembly. There should be a ring nut on the top of what you have left, these can be very tricky to get off, and require a very large wrench or pair of pliers. Once it is removed the strut insert can be removed and replaced. Look out for oil that has leaked down inside the strut tube, and clean it out if necessary. Re assembly is just backwards once again being extremely careful with the spring, and replacing any spacers and washers in the correct locations and order.

The answer is no. r33 gtr, r34 gtr and r34 gtt is the same but r33 gtst is different. If you look at the bottom ends of the struts on the r34 gtr, 2 have a round hole and 2 have a u shape bracket. On the r33 gtst, all 4 have a round a hole.

The rear actuators may be working, but the locks themselves may be corroded and in need of opening the door up and spraying them generously with penetrant.

A ball joint going bad.

How do you replace the front struts on jaguar x-type

To reset the airmatic on a 2000 S500, remove the relay of the airmatic pump. It is in a slot O on the passenger side. It is most likely to be stuck on the on position. Then slip it back in.

Most torque struts are located in engine and brace the between the engine and frame, on gm verhicel they call them dog bones

If one side is lower than the other you probably have a weak or broken spring or torsion rod.

first off remove a lot of things from the quad. usually the motors are pulled out of the left side of the frame. you will have to remove the chain, foot peg, shifter, exhaust, carb, air cleaner, and all the mounting bolts. then have someone help you pull the motor out because its hard to do by yourself and you woulndnt want to risk dropping it. once you have the motor removed from the frame set it in a motor stand. you could simply make it out of wood if you dont already have one. just take four 2x4's and make a box that your motor will fit in so it doesnt move around on you. then you will have to take the cam chain cover off and then the cam chain. take a wire hanger or any miscellaneous wire laying around and loop it around the chain so it doesn't fall down to the bottom of the motor. take off the cam chain tensioner and from there after you have removed the tensioner you can take off the for bolts holding the head on. after removing those bolts you can take the head off. be extremely careful when taking this off so you dont scratch the cylinder walls. once having the head off pull the old rings off and replace with new ones. this will take a ring stretcher. also make sure not to put the rings in upside down because the quad will not run. you might also need to get the cylinder honed out depending on if there is any damage done. i have done quite a few ring replacements and my very first one was the hardest just take your time and your quad will be up and roaring in no time. you'll also feel the increase in power

No , a 1998 Ford Explorer has shock absorbers front and rear
