suspension question

[canadianubira]

Hello to everyone, i have a 2000 nubira wagon, and i think that my front suspension is bad since the new tires i bought are worn very badly right below the bottom cup that hold the spring on the strut and everytime i go over even a medium sized bump on the road it sounds like the suspension bottoms out and the tire rubs. no the question i have is that can i replace the shock on the middle of the strut or is the spring worn out or do i have to replace the whole sunit (shock, strut and spring?) any info would be greatly appreciated.

odds are your shock absorber is busted and this is why your springs decompress to the point it makes a banging sound... the shock absorber and the strut is one part... you only take off the spring and replace the remainder of the assembly
