How do you change the front struts on a Buick Reatta?

Answer by  Rickrock (107)

Take off the front tires. Then move the bolt away from the constant velocity (CV) joint. It is a rubber piece looks like a plunger. Then unbolt the four bolts from the top and support the strut so that it does not fall. Then you can lift the whole thing out.

First you must jack up and support the vehicle. Remove front tires and disconnect the the sturt from the spindle. Once removed, raise hood and remove the three nuts holding the sturt to the body and remove sturt from vehicle.
