my crappy 16v /non 16v hybrid front struts are going to be replaced pretty soon now with the real mccoys .

what i am wondering is ,is there a risk of dislocating/messing the driveshaft at all during the process of removing the existing ones ?????

i know there are 3 bolts holding the shaft on passenger side and a pin on drivers side but even with them ,is there a chance of messing things up by any chance ??????

no you cant mess up the driveshafts by taking off the struts unless you are a total babarian

i thought u had already taken your front struts off so you would know that

I managed to pull my driver side shaft out when I first had my car, but thats becuase the roll pin had totally rusted through

only thing to watch for it the bottom of the strut damaging the outer CV gaitor while you are removing them...the struts that is.

oh yes ,i noticed that removing the struts on the balck rt ,it is a bit of a tight fit there ,lifting the car further up and wiggleing the thing helps though
cheers
