New noise



Before the franchise days, the local parts store chain would press out
old/in new for a very modest fee.

Easiest to just bring them the whole strut assembly, which for you means:

1. Remove 30mm axle nut (with car on ground)
2. Remove wheel (doy)
3. Unbolt caliper and suspend somehow with wire
4. Remove rotor (phillips screw)
4. Remove ball joint pinch bolt entirely (17mm?)
5. Unbolt/disconnect tie rod end
6. Remove strut bearing nuts (2 x 8mm i.e. 13mm head)
7. Pry out balljoint/pivot control arm down
8. Remove entire assembly

Drop off at (hopefully) friendly auto parts store.
Sorry if I forgot something, but it has been a really long time and my
memory is failing ;-)
No need to do both.  Do one and see if you can hear the other one.

I would need the kit, correct?  And I'm guessing that I should do both
sides at the same time? Can't remember if and when they were done.

Also, how much time should I have before failure?
