I don't have any :( and they don't have them online yet. Do you have to disconnect the UBJ from the A arm to insert/remove the strut/spring?

Thanks

We were able to just open up the top and bottom of the clevis and get the strut in that way. No disconnecting of ball joints or A-arms here! Guess we just got lucky.

It shouldn't be necessary to disco the bjs. Just jack up the front to get the wheel assy at full droop, go to work on the clevis that way. MUCHO quicker and easier.

Yeppers! Now, it wasn't overly easy by any means. Took two pry bars to get the lower part of the clevis back lined up to where the bolt goes, but it was well worth it. Went pretty smoothly overall.
