Front Strut Maintenance
I need to replace the dust boots and bump stops on my stock front struts with H&R Green Springs already fitted
The shocks have to come off the car to do this, would it be easier to leave the top assembly attached to the car (4 nuts inside the trunk) and just remove the large nut on the shock shaft and then pull the shock out from underneath? The springs don't appear to be under much compression.
The other option is to remove the entire assembly including the top mounting plate and disassemble the unit outside the car. I think this method will make reassembly more tricky.
Let me what you think.
