Strut Bearing Replacement

[Zack]

About to start working on replacing my strut bearings. I did the ones on CarFreak427's car and the results were pretty good. So I am going to be posting the project on my car as soon as I begin. Once if is completed you will see pictures and instructions.

It's all done. Going for a shake down run to make sure everything is tight in a bit. Looks good. Sits about 2" higher off the ground now. Those bushings were really gone. The new ones are firmly in place 1/2" of so below the strut towers.

This is the step by step (minus captions) from start to finish of my strut bearing replacement. I had a friends shop do the bearing replacement as I wanted to make sure the bearings were attached. The job can be done easily with other hand tools but takes more time. Enjoy the pictures.

It was actually a lot of fun. Haha. May tackle that leaking oil cooler gasket later as well. Saved a lot of money. The failed bearings have a lifetime warranty so parts cost me nothing.
