I've read the prior posts on this procedure and it appears pretty straigforward. A couple of questions though....Do I need an impact wrench to get the top cap(nut on top of the strut) off or will it come off easily with a rachet/wrench....same in reverse, will the strut rod just spin with the nut when tightened with a rachet/socket thus calling for an impact wrench again?
Also, I am just replacing the struts and shocks and will be using the stock springs. So, will I need an alignment afterwards?
Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks
