You are correct DaveInSaltLake. Beware. It is a huge pain to remove and replace.

Think best bet is to get a Crowfoot Wrench that fits it. I tried to get mine off once when cleaning the EGR passway..but gave up after a while.

I agree..it is a groan. Figure out what side first by

loading and unloading the wheels by turning left and right slightly as you go down the road/highway. The bad side is the one that is loud as you load it and not so loud as you unload..(turning...

Power steering fluid after it cooks on the exhaust maybe?

Check your power steering fluid level. As it gets cool this time of year is when it starts leaking.

There is NO WAY this could happen if you have the lower cup installed on the strut

The lower cup is larger in diameter than the bushing, and therefore will not push through the mount. Almost as important is the upper washer on the top of the mount that goes on just before you...

Do it yourself Rebuild Procedure

I have both a FWD (1996) and Q (1997)

It is a "lighter more nimble" feel.
