⚠️ CARPARTS.COM'S INFOS
- During this operation, you will be intervening on the front axle of your car, so it is advisable to perform a wheel alignment afterwards.
- The components to be removed are very often seized up, so don't hesitate to brush and to use penetrating oil to make removal easier.
- We advise never replacing just one strut, to make sure you drive we the most balanced vehicle possible.
