DIY Strut Replacement Do-Able?

[SonicOtter]

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to actually DIY, and I am fairly sure (although will examine to be sure) my front struts are worn. I have a 2012 Chevy Sonic LT 1.8 automatic. It's got a little over 108000 on the clock, and the suspension is all original.

My question for those who've done it; how do-able would you say this job is (assuming it's a strut replacement) for someone new to DIY but who understands suspension components? How much time should I expect to spend, for example.

Thanks in advance for reading.

I did mine a few months ago. Other than having one nut on the top instead of 3, it's just like any other macpherson strut out there. Be sure you use a spring compressor and follow torque specs.

Thanks for the response! I'm hoping to get it done here soon.
