The strut, bearing and top mount have projections on them that u need to line up to have them properly aligned. Then u don't need to eyeball whether the spring sits on the flat part of the bearing
why not just unplug the abs wire?
You do not need to remove the axle nut and hub to change the strut. Please stop giving wrong information.
Thanks this help alot on my mazada 3 2005
Excellent, very detailed video, like all the other ones you've done!
My only comment is that when you put the strut back together, the instructions state that you have to align the rubber tab on the bearing (top part of the strut assembly) with the "hook" (bottom part of the strut assembly) that goes into the knuckle that holds the strut in place when you reinstall it in the car. This means that the top end of the spring will not necessarily rest inside the shallowest part of the bearing as stated @ 15:30. Maybe a minor detail, but I thought I'd mention it.
