Howdy all.

How hard is it to replace all 4 struts on my Neon with my new Konis by
myself?  I just found out that most local shops want about $200 to do the
job plus an alignment.  YIKES!!!

I have basic hand tools (combo-wrenches, socket set, vice grips, large
hammers and a lot of allen wrenches  ;^).  I also have some basic mechanical
experience in that I've replaced a water pump, distributor, rebuilt a
Rochester carburetor, removed, cleaned and replaced a gas tank, installed
air shocks and replaced brakes on several cars myself.  All except the last
item were on the same car.  I sure do miss that 1970 Cutlass.  :^(

See you on course.

Take a ton of bolt and steel
A whole lotta sweat, a set of wheels.....On the Speedway.
The flag is down, pistons pound
Plenty of engines ripping around......On the Speedway.
