Quite a few have. Go to www.300mclub.org and hit the Message Boards in the Performance and Mods forum. Do a search and you should get many hits for changing springs and struts. And check this page.

Actually, you need to go in from the top, between the engine and firewall. It is very do-able in the home driveway/garage. Pick up the 2 piece bushing kit (like a doughnut sliced in half). If this does not take away the slop in your steering, you may be in need of a new rack. I wound up paying for a new rack at ~150K miles.
As one of the previous posts mentioned, the best source for help on these cars is http://300mclub.org
and by a sister car site
http://www.dodgeintrepid.net
There are lots of How-to instructions and maintenance tips. The 300M club does have a small charge for access to certain areas, but you usually save at least that much on the first maintenance procedure you do yourself.

Just called the dealer and gave him my vin. He didnt even know what I was talking about as far as PHG goes. Told me it said my car has 4 wheel independent touring suspension. Does anyone know if that means it has PHG or not. I am trying to replace my struts and I need to know if I need the stiffer ones or not. Thanks
