I can tell you that this IS necessary. I tried without doing this and you can't jack the carrier up enough for the cv joint to clear the tranny - the car starts to lift...the sway bar is doing its job. I'm in the middle of doing the boot replacement and I've got the passenger side out. Hope I don't wring a bolt off in the engine cause I can see the exhaust must be dropped on the drivers side -- there is not as much clearance.
btw, I've got a 2000S with 41K and ALL 4 boots are fully torn. This must be a huge issue. I'm guessing every 2000S with 40K miles has torn boots???
Nice write-up!! Thanks!!!!!
