I have purchased two new front struts to put in my '88 240 wagon.
Are there any traps to be aware of, or is it a fairly straight forward job? |

It's do-able for someone with decent mechanical skills.
You will need a spring compressor and hand tools. Here is a link on this forum to the procedure. |

Let me know how it works out. I have a 87 240 that needs new front struts so any pointers you can give would be greatly appreciated! Good Luck!

Sorry for not replying sooner Rob_245 but I have been missing for a few weeks showing my American B-I-L a few sights of our beautiful, interesting country.
Thanks for listing the link to the photographs - they are very informative and easy to follow. Much appreciated. :liebe011: |
