Replacing front struts 850

I did this job a year ago at 100K miles. You do need a spring compressor. You may not need an alignment after this job, since only toe-in is adjustable onm this model, and unless you also change tie rods (which I did as well), you have nothing to align.

From my experience, the struts themselves were still good at 100K, but spring seats and strut mounts were worn.
