Front Strut Top Bushing - How to replace? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Andy on  Wed Jun 18 15:41 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I've done it myself, and I would not recommend doing it without the proper tools. There is a lot of tension on the stock spring assembly, and without a spring compression tool one could seriously hurt themselves.
Most auto stores have this type of tool for rent.
One thing to think about too is replacing the bearing assembly while you have the strut appart. Depending on where you get them, they cost approx. $90 to $120 each.
