Question on strut removal -
For those that have done it (drivers side), did you remove the axle from the knuckle? The how-to doesn't mention it, and the manual just says to loosen the axle nut. I don't really want to. Will the knuckle move down enough with it still attached?
Some days I hate my contour. Going to leave work Friday, pull away and hear a loud grinding noise. Get out and look, left side of car is way low. Oh great the spring broke and has slipped off the perch and is grinding against the wheel. Call tow truck, first one can't get under the front bumper (SVT), call a flat bed, neither can he. So spent a couple of hours today getting it good enough to drive home. Had to cut out the broken piece, then cut another chunk of the spring off. Then we managed to twist it back in enough. Oh and it's below freezing here
Thanks
