Can I change the struts on my 96 Grande Voyager by myself?

Yes, get a shop manual and when done an alignment.

And don't forget a realy good spring compressor..

You can do it yourself. Buy them from a parts store with a "loan a tool" program so that you can borrow a spring compressor from them. That being said this is one of those jobs that it makes no sense to do yourself in my opinion. I have done it twice... both times it has taken most of the day to do all four. For the price a tire shop charges to replace them next time I'll just let them do it (have to take it there when you are done anyway to get it aligned).

Just curious......who replaces them for free? And if it is for free I'm sure they tripled the cost for the parts

In the FREE case it is just another four letter word.

The typical sale is but 3 get the 4th free. Monroe shock dealers sell the set installed for over $200.00. Typical shock/muffler shops, etc.

I do a lot of my own repairs myself, especially electrical, I always pass on muffler and front suspension type work, I'd rather pay.

Pep Boys is currently offering free instalation on Monroe struts.
