Hi all
My daughter's 95 Cavalier makes a banging sound in the rear right of the suspension. I drove over a series of the type speed bump that they remove in the winter for snow plowing. There are gaps in the way they are laid out across the road which will allow you a smooth path for either your right side wheels or your left side wheels depending on the path you choose.
All that to say the bumps allow you to accurately tell right from left and front from rear so I do know exactly where the noise comes from.
So ..... she intends to give the car away to a person who needs a car rather then use it as a trade for her next car. And because the recipient is more a friend of mine then hers I would like to replace the strut and I would like to do it myself to keep the cost down.
Now in my younger days I removed lots an lots of shocks but I am wondering what's involved in replacing a strut. ( I am among the dying breed that still knows what a $2.00 tire is.)
Can someone do a paint by numbers of what is involved on swapping out the strut for me.
Thanks all!
