Mark,

The strut assemblies come out the sides:-(
You will also need a spring compressor.  Change the strut bearings while
you're in there.

Gentlemen:

A buddy's mom has a 1993 90S non-quattro.  Needs front struts.  Dealer
quoted a cool grand - yeah right!!!!

My question for you is:

On the 90 series can the strut cartridges be replaced from the top a la a
5000, or does it require a full teardown a la our beloved S-cars?  I would
like to know what I am getting into before I volunteer my services.

Best regards and thank you for indulging my non S-car question.

Mark
