Hi Poolman,

The struts don't need to be removed to replace the front wheel bearings.

There is a strut bearing at the top of the strut. I recommend replacing it if your car has more than 100K miles on it.

When you say 'upgrade' the spring. Do you mean replace with a new 'stock' spring or find a stiffer unit? The front coils on our 95 sag quite a bit compared to our 98 as well. I wished I had noticed it before I replaced the struts..... I would have replaced the springs as well.

Replacing the struts is not difficult at all, just use a VERY good spring compressor. When I replaced the struts on the 95 at about 120K I also replaced the strut bearings and the seats as well for the helluvit. I did not R & R the wheel bearings at the time, they felt tight.
