[V8] wheel baring's

[Coleman, David]

After replacing all four struts/shocks/springs on mine, done by removing
entire strut assembly, to my surprise the car went down the road
straight and true.  Probably still needs alignment, but I sure can't
tell, except turn-in is a bit too much... Probably from lowering-induced
geometry changes.
