front strut bushing?

[krazyk4211]

i took my sisters 92 hb to get inspected, but it wont pass until i replace her front strut bushing. can anyone inform me about how to go about doing that? i have already searched.

theyre probably talking about the mounts for the struts. unbolt the struts from where it connects behind the brake rotors,should be 2 large bolts i think one is 17mm and the other is 19mm, then take the 3 nuts off the top of the struts and pull the out from the bottom. you'll need a spring compressor to do this- you can borrow one from most autoparts stores if you dont have one. then compress the springs until there is no tension on the mount/bushing. then unbolt the mount/bushing, replace it with the new one and bolt it on. then slowly release the tension on the springs by removing the compressors, making sure everything lines up as it should as you go. once its back together, replace the strut spring assembly on the car. then torque all the nuts and bolts to spec. the spec are shown in your service manual if you have one.the mounts/ bushings will probably run around $60-70 a piece at the autoparts store. i found a new set of 4 tokico mounts for $140 on ebay.. you just have to search around a little.
