Thanks for the info, Justin. I couldn't find an article on the SPS site...only a CYA article, "Important Information about Installing Springs or Struts on a Saturn."

Compress the spring, one more bolt to release the upper mount from the strut, and it comes apart. Assembly is the reverse procedure. Very easy to do on a Saturn, so if you have an itching to do it yourself, then go for it. Your 2001 suspension is identical to all S series Saturns from 1991 to 2002, so the Haynes book will work fine. Only "special tool" you may need is a Torx bit to hold the shaft of the stock strut while you loosen the nut from it, and since you work on Saturns, you may already have this anyway. A second person is sometimes handy to help hold parts in place while you attach them and so on, but it could be done by yourself. With a whole bunch of people it takes no time at all - I believe the SPOC NE record is a mere 45 minutes for all four corners at one of our garage days! Oh, and the car even managed to drive away afterward, too. ;) You'll still need the alignment, but getting that from a shop is probably easier than convincing a shop to put the parts on for you. - Justin Visit SPOC National at http://www.spocnational.org Don't forget to update your Profile in the Owners Database.
