Replacing struts on a Vauxhall Zafira Life is not a simple task, but with the right tools and knowledge, it can be done. You will need a spring compressor, socket and wrench set, and a jack and jack stands. It is recommended to have someone help you with this process.

First, you will need to remove the wheel from the side of the struts you plan to replace. Then, remove the brake caliper and rotor. Next, use the spring compressor to compress the spring and remove it from the strut. Once the spring is removed, you can remove the strut from the vehicle.

Before installing the new strut, make sure to clean and inspect all parts for any damage. Then, use the spring compressor to compress the new spring and place it on the new strut. Carefully reattach the strut to the vehicle and make sure everything is secure.
