Front strut removal
« on: 30 June 2017, 11:49:39 »
Just checking as not with the car, undo 2 bolts through the hub and strut, pull hub assembly forward then 3 nuts on top of inner wing and the strut should come out?

Two that hold it to the hub carrier, one big one on the top and the anti-rollbar droplink.
The ABS wiring is attached to the strut as well.
You will need to have the geometry done once you've reassembled everything.

Or mark the position of the bolt heads on the strut for the pikey method. Though if it were my motor I'd get geo done too  :y
