It is a lot easier if you drop the side by taking out the two
subframe bolts on that side. You may as well change the subframe
mounts while you are there. And, the LCA should be done at the same

bushing in the wheel carrier
if that special 'ring wrench' would be delivered
by FedEx today.

Dieselvolk,
Over the last couple of nights I replaced the four struts on one side; about
six hours invested so far. Special tools definitely help, specifically a 12mm
triple-square bit in a 1/2 socket (I only have the K-D tools version that has a
1/2 inch hex shaft about 2 inches long with
11 matches
