NewKens1 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 When I was rotating the tires I saw that one of the rear struts was leaking. Is this a job for a DIYer. Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Depends on what you have and how mechanical you are... I am planning on swapping all 4 out on my Impreza this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86ruguy Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 getting them out of the car isn't really a problem. however you need a strut spring compressor to disassemble the strut because the replacement is just the strut and not the spring or anything. if you get them out, most shops only charge a couple bucks to swap out the rest. the shop where i work charges $15 a piece i think.

NewKens1 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 I'm soory that I did not mention that I have a '99 OBW. I am fairly mechanical and most of my own work. The left rear strut is leaking. The local autoparts store will loan me the spring compressor tool. Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
