The Nissan Path

Hey everyone...just curious if anyone has attempted to/or did replace their front shocks themselves?

This past weekend I replaced the rear shocks on my own with Bilstein's, which I think makes for a huge improvement. Now I want to do the front. Aside from figuring an initial plan of attack to remove the bolts in close quarters, the rear was relatively easy. I have read that to do the front you need a spring compressor, which I don't have. Although I don't usually work on cars, I don't like to pay someone for something I can do myself...just not sure if this is one of those things. Any thoughts???

Yes you will need a strut compressor to replace the front struts. It's not a difficult job, but a little tedious and great caution should be used when dealing with a loaded spring/strut. I was able to rent a strut compressor at my Advance Auto.
