    Front strut Removal

    Step one: Raise and support vehicle using pinch weld like for the rear.



    Step two: Remove wheel and tire



    Step Three: Remove lower strut bolts and nuts. The bolts will need to be pounded out like the rear. Watch your hand while doing this the knuckle will jump up a bit when they are both out.





    Step four: remove strut top plate nuts.

    DRIVER SIDE


    PASSENGER SIDE


    Step 5: I could not get pics of me doing this because both my hands where full while doing it. A friend is very helpful. You will need to push down on the steering knuckle and control arm. While pushing down slide the strut over the tie rod and drop it out. You can pop the tie rod off the knuckle if you want to make it easier. I left it because the nylon nuts like to stick half way down.
