  • Front strut mounts

    I will be borrowing a spring compressor from Autozone and swapping in my FMS springs this weekend. Do the front struts mounts have sealed ball bearings in them like some cars or are they cheap and just have some type of sleeve bushing? If they have bearings, I would like to be prepared with new ones ready.

        You don't even need a spring compressor for FMS springs. Just have to watch taking apart the old ones!
