How to replace Front Wheel Bearings?

[Ameer Antar]

I'm pretty sure if you only loosen the outer nuts, the alignment is not affected. The outer ones are the ones that actually hold the whole strut assembly to the car from the top. The inner ones affect the camber. Hope that helps...

**** True. But, now you need a wheel alignment. No?
If you leave the strut top alone, you wont need to get a wheel alignment
done. Am I correct?
