front shocks

[felt27]

need to know how hard it is to change front shocks on vt wagon does the whole strut come out or just the shock///

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The front shock is a McPherson strut and a sealed unit. The shock and spring are all mounted together. They have to be removed, the spring and top mounting hardware swaps over to the new strut.

[felt27]

do you need spring conpressers to change the spring or is the shock long enough to deconpress

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

If they are standard height springs, then yes, you will need spring compressors.
