Replacing front struts, But I have a few questions...
Okay So I managed to get the front struts off with out any power tools and my first time taking off Macphersons, it was hell but its done, I have a set of struts ready to go in but I was wondering do I need to replace the lower strut bolts and washers, one or the other or can I get away with reusing them?

You can re-use them unless they are damaged.
Dont forget to put in 50cc/50ml of ATF in the cartridge after you clean it before installing the new struts. Im pretty sure you year takes the spongy little gasket. I did this for 2% with some High density foam for sealing windows and doors as i didnt want to spent 8$ each for the little buggers. I also put in fresh Honda moly 60 in the bearings on that top strut assembly as mine were dry and lubed the spacer as well Dont forget to check you're brake lines ![]()
