Need some tips on changing struts on my 99 runner
Hey guys,
I have already changed out my struts once by using a set of those cheapo harbor freight spring compressors but they were quite dangerous.
The 4 runner spring is narrow and stiff and those hooks barely fit in there.
I used them and wrapped the whole set up with a ratchet strap for protection.
Is there an easier way or maybe the V style strut compressor woyld work better?
Thanks!

Do you have any idea where one might look for such statistics??
I myself never took the time to look something like that up.
As your being carted into the ER After you prove your Obama Care is paid I am sure you want to state just what caused the accident .
I would bet unless OSHA is involved there are no real records .

I had done a few BMW's with a compressor from Sears. But the Runner fronts were too much for it--the hooks shifted in the middle of the job and bent the crap out of the thing. I had to get fresh underwear, then I took it to my local shop.
Not for the faint of heart or someone who has not done it before. Those are serious springs.
