Default Replacing struts, need advice - 07-12-2003 , 09:22 AM






I will be replacing the struts on my 93 Fox next week and would like any
tips/advice. I have all the hardware (including front strut mounts) except
the "self-locking nuts", which Bentley says need replacing... I don't know
what size they are... does anyone know (Bentley doesn't say).

Thnx!

Make your life easier and get instead lock washers. So, you can reuse
them all the time. That said, every strut cartridge I ever bought came
with new nuts.
