As above. You've got to remove the strut to access the top mount. Technically it's possible, but as the strut is secured to hub assembly by just 2 bolts, it's not worth messing about trying to get enough space with the strut in place.
Just over 15 minutes to change one side? I'd say it'll be 15 minutes to remove the first rusty, seized-up bolt when I start doing mine (once the rain stops)....
Hello, is it possible to change it with spring clamps while suspensions are under tension with car on the ground or car on a jackstand? Or is it recommended to only change with the whole thing off?
Thanks
