I was looking through the posts and I didn’t see anything newer than 2021?

I guess that I will delete the site off of my phone if nobody responds to my question.

 

There's new post's almost every day. Not sure why your finding a issue.

 

I found the new posts after I submitted the question.

 

Weird. There's definitely been a drop off in activity the past few years but it's still fairly active.

 

Well I might as well ask you all a question. Has anyone changed the rear struts on an 2003 Monte Carlo? I looked at it on YouTube and it didn’t seem to be that hard, does anyone have any insight that would make it easier for me?

I’m guessing a days work for a shade tree mechanic like me.

 

I have changed rear and front struts on my Monte and other GM cars with the same design structure. But when I do change struts, I used the "quick struts" (a pre-assemble, strut, strut plate and coil spring). It's three fastners on top and two down below. The hardest part I have found is if the lower spline bolts are "stuck" (which I have not had an issue with since the 90's Grand Ams). If they are stuck, an air hammer helps. But any 2000+ GM car I have worked with, a couple good hits with a hammer and they slide right out. I can typically do front struts by myself (but a helper is nice to start the top fastners). The rear struts, I ALWAYS ask for a helper to start the top fastners.

 

Thanks for the reply. That’s about what I was thinking, one person could do the job, two would make it easier.

 

It's got to be something weird with your browser/settings. Both of the threads you started in 2022 had several replies including from yourself.

 

I was able to get to the new posts soon after I sent this question.?

 

Sometimes some weird stuff happens on the internet, it also depends on the phone you are using. Some of the features on the I-phone I never seen when I used the computer.
Now I switched to a Samsung and it has some features I like much better.
But still active here maybe not as much as I used to be. Used to check it daily and now maybe every 2 days. Good luck with the struts!!
