TAB vs Front Struts 200 1989

Hi,

From my experience I think the front suspension is more time consuming, not necessarily harder or easier just more steps. I would say go for it. As long as you have whatever parts and tools you need things should go smoothly. Read through the archives for details depending on what you need to replace. If you need new spring compressors I went with the ones you can buy at Autozone (same brand IPD sells) and I think they are around $35 a pair-a good price and good quality. It will speed things up if you have access to either an air or electric impact wrench-if you don't make sure you have a HF 15/16 offset wrench for the top strut nut.

Good luck,

Travis
