GMC Repair: 1994 Pontiac Bonneville, fastening hardware, rear struts
QuestionI need good "how-to" advise on replacing front and rear struts on my '94 Bonnie. I've haven't done struts before and I would like to get good advice so that I can avoid possible pit falls. I am handy/ mechanically inclined and have no doubt that I can handle this job. The model is a SE, six cylinder, 3.8L. No ELC. I know the replacement of the upper bearing plate and related fastening hardware is recommended. What other expert advice do you offer?
Answerhello ed
thire 2 bolts on the botton 3 bolts on the top .
just remove them and knock the strut out and a long breaker bar and a 1/2 rachet will do the trick
and you will need to have the springs installed on new struts.
they do sell a tool to comprose the springs
u would have to call a parts store .
good luck to u pete
