Strut replacement question
2010, w221, Quick question... I am about to replace a leaking strut, do all 4 wheels have to be off the ground to replace only the LF strut?

I guess nobody knows so I called Arnott and they said that when replacing a front strut "both" front wheels should be off the ground to relieve pressure on the sway bar. This way it will be easier to press down the the control arm when removing the strut. Just an FYI for anyone else that is replacing a front strut.
