Strut questions

[jcp]

Thanks for the quick replies guys! I have done the brakes and changed the gearbox oil (5 speed). I have thought about the age of the coolant tank and watched a couple of Utube videos.....sheesh, what a job. I would hate to shoot myself in the foot and cause more work.
The front struts were pretty easy to remove.....the rears look a bit more difficult ....we'll see.
Oh yeah, one other question. Do the rear aluminum bars and pan that has to be removed to change the gearbox oil have anything to do with the rear alignment?

I had my 98 up on jacks all around... removed the aluminum bars and the pan and, when I completed my maintenance... everything went right back into place. I believe so long as you're not changing jack stands positions... you should be fine.

Will it affect alignment... I've read upon this forum that it can... if you start moving those stands around... jacking up the car further... etc. I did not need an alignment on mine... as evidenced by perfect tire wear all around.

Set it, and forget it.
