Front struts, not shocks

The fronts are struts, not shocks, and front springs are an issue. It's a simple job: jack up car on one side at jack pad, remove wheel, use second jack under front control arm end to raise it up to unweight strut, unbolt strut, carefully lower second jack enough to get strut out, put new strut in, jack up control arm, replace new bolts, remove second jack, put wheel back on, lower car. Do the other side. Drive away happy. Before you start, check the condition of the strut mounts, and replace them if they are significantly cracked.
