Video helped alot thanks. I was able to rent a larger type of spring compressor that was able to compress it easily without slipping, Install took about 1 hour for both sides after that. So jobs done now, just one question left.
I replaced the control arms about 3 weeks ago which came with new ball joints as well. After which i got an alignment, Obviously if i had known that the strut mounts had to be done as well i would have waited. Will i need another alignment done now? the car drives like it did before. It pulls slightly to the left if you let go of the wheel long enough but its always done that.
