J A Blazer Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 While replacing the front axles on my 2000 OBW I noticed that the driver's side top strut mount moves quite stiffly (when compared to the passenger side), which would explain the audible groan when turning at low speeds. How hard is it to replace the bearing, or must the entire top mount be replaced? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 You are looking to replace the upper strut mount. how hard to replace? Not hard at all, but you must own the tools to do it, the spring must be compressed, and held (safely), while you remove the top nut, and replace the upper mount.
