Do you need special tools to replace front struts? We have a rattle coming from the front end and believe it maybe the struts. Do you replace both struts and mounting brackets or just the struts? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Lloyd Ehalt

you should be able to use all of the hardware from the old struts to do the job. after all that car is only a couple of years old. but you may find yourself with the same problem after replacing the struts. so look good at the whole area where you think the ratttle is coming from. I had a jingle coming from a car that i did, and found out it was the sway bar linkage all they needed was to be tightened a little. I mean this sound was big I thought something serious was about to happen. get my point? just so you know.
