[s-cars] CV Joint Going Bad?

[Cody Payne]

How hard is that Strut Bearing to change out?  Does it require the removal of the strut?

How many hours/min?

Seems to be the concensus. Although looking at some of the EKTA pics I also
had another rattling sound coming from the dash. Turned out to be #32 the
coaxial bearing($10 from dealer) apparently they tend to break and rattle
around.

Hope this helps
