I can now attest to the fact that their a bear to do . I just replaced my 10 yr. old, 170,000 mile struts (plus the following) and it took me 2.5 days!!!
1. all 4 struts
2. ball joints
3. rear link pins
4. brake pads
5. bleed brakes
6. fuel filter
I'm likley slower than others, but it was my first time on the Contour, so I was slowed by lack of experience. Shatzki (sp) would have changed struts for $150 which turns out to be an excellent deal.
