but it states i have to replace the 3 top nuts that hold the strut to the body and the 2 lower nuts holding the strut to the wheel hub ..
but the spare parts guy hummmmed and haaarrred and said "i don't think so"
has anyone else come upon this problem ?
if so .. .what did u do ?
thanks

Not needed in my opinion but as stated above pop up to Coventry's and get some replacements for piece of mind.
Most important is don't over tighten, EVO spec are 33 ft lbs for top strut nuts assume same for WRX, most people over tighten them and snap the stud, a torque wrench is a good investment.
