I have a Oldsmobile Alero. At low speeds I had a lot of rattles and squeaks coming rom the front end. I took it to a major repair shop and dropped it off. I asked them to check my struts. A hour later they told me that I did not need struts. They also said they greased the struts and all noise is gone. They were right. I am curious- how did they grease my struts?

I have just bought new boot struts for my Ford Mondeo MK2 as the boot keeps falling down and hitting me on the head! Can someone please tell me how I can find out how to fit them myself- so as to save paying a garage to do this for me? I dont really want to buy a manual either as I dont intend doing many repairs myself.
Ideally pictures would be great.

Thanks.
Might have to buy a manual but was hoping to get pictures or help via the internet instead.
Have just tried removing retaining clip and the strut just pulled off. Might have a bit of trouble getting the clip back on though.
(First time I have used this yahoo question thingy- how do I reply to someones answer)?

Thanks.

i got a 65 ford mustang coupe- needs a gas tank and a strut rod.
possibly a new steering wheel- rack n pinion box-
im keeping everything stock cuz modded cars are worthless (as in not worth as much money)
i want to avoid mail ordering from used parts places and other suspicious stuff like that-
ebay- all that.
and i live in Anchorage Alaska.
shipping is my worst enemy here.
somebody help me out- i need some parts.
huh..
i just took out a bar in the suspension that was broken in the bolts- did some research and it said it was a strut rod..
maybe its a tie rod then.

that sucks..

A hydraulic jack is used to raise a 5000-lb aircraft 6 in off the ground (ignore strut oleo extension). The hand pump on the jack has a diameter of 2 in with a stroke of 2 in and the jack piston is 12 in diameter and has the capability of a 10-in stroke once the pump is primed- how many strokes must the technician apply to the hand pump and with what force?

i really need help explicating this- its from Richard III by Shakespeare. somebody please help!

Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour d upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;
Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings-
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.
Grim-visaged war hath smooth d his wrinkled front;
And now- instead of mounting barded steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries-
He capers nimbly in a lady s chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
But I- that am not shaped for sportive tricks-
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I- that am rudely stamp d- and want love s majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I- that am curtail d of this fair proportion-
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature-
Deformed- unfinish d- sent before my time
Into this breathing world- scarce half made up-
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them;
Why- I- in this weak piping time of peace-
Have no delight to pass away the time-
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity:
And therefore- since I cannot prove a lover-
To entertain these fair well-spoken days-
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
Plots have I laid- inductions dangerous-
By drunken prophecies- libels and dreams-
To set my brother Clarence and the king
In deadly hate the one against the other:
And if King Edward be as true and just
As I am subtle- false and treacherous-
This day should Clarence closely be mew d up-
About a prophecy- which says that G
Of Edward s heirs the murderer shall be.
Dive- thoughts- down to my soul: here
Clarence comes.
