It's been a few years since the Valiant restoration, so I'm foggy on the details.What's the easiest way to replace the strut rod bushings? If I remember correctly the whole front end has to come apart.
Any secret tips, or time saving advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Yup'er. Lower control arm has to come off to be able to retract strut from front of car.

There are two styles of bushings. The old single one that jams' through the hole, and a so called up-grade unit that looks like two little hockey pucks the strut passes through, and sandwiches both sides of the front strut hole. Your pick...

Have fun!
