I've done this recently on both sides on my '94 854T. It doesn't take too long if you have the right tools. I would highly recommend an impact wrench. I used an electric version with a 1/2" drive. If you have access to an air impact wrench, even better. A set of strut compressors. Rented them for $6 from my local Shuck's Auto supply. Make sure they are for struts and not for regular shocks. A hydraulic lift and jack stands are also recommended. You could use the spare tire jack, but $50-$60 is not much for a lift that you'll probably use a lot.

Afterwards, you'll need an alignment. I would recommend finding a good local shop.

-Good luck
