In order for this violation to avoid, to loosen the bolts to the steering knuckle need to make two labels. One of them should show the location of the adjustment bolt in the strut, the other — position the steering knuckle. After replacing the bearing during the Assembly process need to match the labels. To achieve the initial precision is unlikely to succeed, but the error will be small. This method is ideal for those who in addition to bearing manufactures replacement and other elements of the vehicle chassis.

For dismantling the struts you need to decompressing update the tail tip, Unscrew the nuts that attach the upper mount to the car body, after which dismantled the rack, you must replace the front bearing hub. This method is more difficult than the others, but sometimes use them when two of the previous method for some reason does not fit.
