Swapping Front Struts

Recommended Posts

can it be done without removing the driveshafts from either the box or the hub?

in most cases yes, though is a bit tricky on standard springs.

 

fit the spring compressors before you try and remove them to keep the strut compr4essed and you'll find it easier.

Right side is dead easy but you have to be careful with the left because the driveshaft can pull out of the diff easily, draining the oil onto the floor.
