The Left Rear strut on my 2000 Forester is shot-it is leaking and clunking. How hard to change? Any special tips? I have changed shock absorbers before but never a strut. I have jacks, impact tool, hand tools, reasonable mechanical ability.
Thanks, Jake
I would definitely consider replacing at least both rear struts. After market KYB would be fine.

Excellent post, accurate and succinct.

Thank you DG. Isn't the replacement part a complete unit that goes in place of the old unit? Why would I have to disassemble the unit with a spring compressor? Are you talking a strut cartridge replacement inside the unit?
