The strut shock is contained within the tube that you see. It is held in with a large retaining nut. You do not replace the stut, you replace the shock that is inside.
Search for drs<underscore>install and read the front strut shock posting and the recent post on replacing the upper mounts. You will find the required tools listed.
http://www.tirerack.com can supply new mounts and bearings for around $112 + shipping. You need to phone to get them as they do not show up on the web pages.
You are looking at a 4 to 6 hour job, depending on whether you replace the shocks. You need a spring compressor either way. The biggest issue is getting the ball joint taper out of the hub. The drive shaft spine nut is difficult to remove, you will need a large breaker bar and a 1&1/4 socket to remove it. Do that with the wheel mounted and on the ground.
Look for further info in a post I made on this subject earlier this week.
You should be looking at new mounts, bearing and shocks if everything is stock on your 95SET.
So whats the problem, noise when turning or banging on every bump. How do the rubber mounts appear. They are probably cracked and torn.
95SET 140000 miles, VRK, Koni's stock SE springs.
