Does anyone knw if u have to use a spring compreser to put new 1 on or roughly how much it wud cost to get fixed. Not sure if i have to buy whole new strut n spring or if its just a simple new spring 2 b fittd. Thanx * +

New spring. You need compressors to tension it to get it off and a new one on safely. Its not a difficult job or a long one, so it shouldnt cost too much. The springs arent expensive at all, you could always find a good used one but its best to let a garage fit a new one. * +
