Hi all

My daughter's 95 Cavalier makes a banging sound in the rear right of the
suspension. I drove over a series of the type speed bump that they remove in the
winter for snow plowing. There are gaps in the way they are laid out across the
road which will allow you a smooth path for either your right side wheels or
your left side wheels depending on the path you choose.

All that to say the bumps allow you to accurately tell right from left and front
from rear so I do know exactly where the noise comes from.

So ..... she intends to give the car away to a person who needs a car rather
then use it as a trade for her next car. And because the recipient is more a
friend of mine then hers I would like to replace the strut and I would like to
do it myself to keep the cost down.

Now in my younger days I removed lots an lots of shocks but I am wondering
what's involved in replacing a strut. ( I am among the dying breed that still
knows what a $2.00 tire is.)

Can someone do a paint by numbers of what is involved on swapping out the strut
for me.

Thanks all!
