    Cool Changing front struts on a vt/vx Commodore

    First step: Jack your car up remember too put a brick behind
    the back tyer then take front tyer off.

    Second step: Place a jack so that you can lift the rotter up
    to a height that is just enough and it is less stress on you.

    Third step: Now it's time to remove the Strut. Remove the 2 nuts on top
    and bottom of the rod.i found when You undo any of the nuts
    the rod still turns so i put a justable spanner on the rod
    were its flat to stop it from turning.

    forth step: Take the sturt rod out easy way to do it
    get somethig thats stong then place underneath tension rod on top
    of the sway bar and lift up then strut rod will come out
    (you will need a bit of strenght to do this because on
    some car's they can be pricks to get off lol).

    Fith step: Now it's time to get the new rod (the ones i got were thicker and they were
    bent because of the design of the rod and it fit's in a bit better) to put the new rod in
    just reverse the method you started with by lifting the sway bar place rod in the start to do the
    nuts up dong forget the rod will turn so use an ajustable spanner to hold the rod
    when its done up take the jack out from underneath the rotter put tyer on an take it
    for a drive an feel the differnce in your steering.

    Thanks for having a look if you have any questons just ask.
