Well, I have learned that the fourms are the best to find out How to do stuff. I am in the process of working on a friends CRV and going to change the front struts. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on chaning them, and how hard it is. I have an older car, just changed the struts, pretty easy, couple of bolts and a spring compressor. Just had to get the front end re-alined after the work. Has anyone done this before? Any special needs? Thanks for any help. Mike
