Is there a safe method for replacing the stuts and or shocks on an 89 240DL wagon (B230). My concern is for all of the warnings associated with strut replacement and the dangers with assembly and disassembly of the existing parts. Can they be purchased in a configuration where they are pre-assembled and ready to bolt in? Is this more of a job than I should tackle? Engines and transmissions present no problem for me, but suspension is a totally new ball game. I have basically the same question about motor mounts for this car. I am told they need to be replaced, so should I attempt this as a one day project? (The car is a daily driver)

and I am proud to say, just passed the California smog test with 154k miles on an all original engine :) Not even close to a question about not passing.
