I posted this in the suspension section but I did replace the front struts on my Seville this afternoon. The link to that thread is here:

I had to remove some of the pictures, but you can find them all on a link in the other thread.

Enjoy!!!!!

I was just wondering if you happened to see anything reguarding the upper strut bearing when replacing? I highly doubt id bother with it since I plan on trading up. But just curious.

I did not see anything, and I couldn't see anything wrong with the ones that I reused. The rubber around it was still completely intact. and I couldn't make any noise on it when I tried manipulating it with my hands.

trading up for a newer STS? :)

Great write up. I copied it to my 98 Eldo fix folder. I may have to do this in the spring. Thanks for your effort.

Nice job Iametarg. I put a copy in the Tech Tips section as well.

This company sells shocks and has pictures with procedure you can download. It might be helpful for someone as well.

Good job

Yea ill probably trade up.. Not sure if it's a good idea for me to keep this one after the warranty is up. There's the potential for some expensive repairs down the road.
