Suspension do I need to pop driveshaft?
« on: July 14, 2012, 04:45:27 pm »
Do I really need remove the driveshaft from the hub to drop the front struts out of the car?
And if I do is it both sides of the car I need to do it on?

No, just jack up the suspension a little to remove the strut from the hub  :wink:
