Strut Rod Removal


I had already removed the bolts that hold the front of the strut rod to the lower control arm.

Hold bolt heads with a wrench then impact gun/socket wrench the nut to remove. (Arrows show location of bolts in engine compartment)

There is one bolt on a stud at the frame accessible from under the fender. (Red Arrow). Once all the bolts are removed the assembly should fall free.


With the assembly in a vice, I used a 1" wrench with a 1" socket & an impact gun to remove the nuts holding the strut rod bushings together.


The strut rod mount free of it's rod and bushings.
