Hi,
I have a 300E 1988 with about 150k on it. I think the shocks are dead and if they are not, they should be. I know that the right front is gone by the sound and the handling has gone way downhill.

Question, I am not a mechanic but am fairly handy. I am tryin to save a buck and found a full set of KYB's for $244 shipped. Good deal? Now when I get them I was wondering if installing them was a big deal. Is it something that a normal guy can handle? Do I need a spring compressor or any special tools? I read about the Haynes manual but don't know what it is and don't want to have to buy one.

Can someone either point me in the right direction or tell me to faaaaget about it or clue me in to the procedure?

Thanks in advance.

AG
