I'm bring home tools form work to take front and rear suspension off... what sizes do I need for the front strutrs and rear shocks, and the nut that mounts the rear shock to the mount?
I just don't want to bring home extra @!#$ if I don't have to
10, 13, 15, 18, 19mm iirc. You'll want a 13mm box wrench and some socket extensions (at least one 8") for the rear struts. A 2# sledge will make the front strut-to-knuckle bolts a breeze. Don't forget the 800lb gorilla and a bunch of bananas.
Aren't the front strut bolts 21mm?
i know mine were 21mm for the lower strut bolts in the front
Mine were 21mm... I didn't have a 800lb gorrila, but my 400lb neighbor helped a hell of a lot.
Oops.. Yeah that 19 should be a 21.

my car is just over 2 years old so its not all rusted up, either way I have PB Blaster, a compressor and a 1/2 gun that puts out 1,000 ft/lbs of torque
I think that'll do it hahahah
but thank you for the info gentleman
Air tools help a lot to break some loose bolts (esp on older cars) and for the spring compressor. I did my rear suspension in about 1 hour, from lifting the car up to lowering it back down w. lowering springs.

Ban low-performance cars, not high-performance ones.
21 mm...use an air gun...cuts the amount of work and the time it takes to change all of them in half...
