Yes its needed as they had to remove screws that hold the front transmission together.

oh another thing ..... since replacing to KYB gas-shock, driving is firmer ......... but notice there is a "tok" sound on the front-right and ONLY when going over humps, what's this ?? what need to be replaced ? Price?

Tks in advance !!

I am still waiting to change my shock. I am going to change the lower arm joint together with shock then do wheel alignment at one go.

Did you check the condition of your lower arm joint? a ball-joint thing  behind your wheel hub. I remember a bro posted some pic of it.

after months of bz schedule, manage to squeeze some time today and get it replaced;
1.  lower arm-joint both side
2.  rubber mounting both side

driving, braking, over humps  is
but workshop say due to KYB-gas-shock is firmer than stock-shock, therefore might reduce the lifespan of arm-joint & rubber mounting 

Have a great New Yr !!
