Front shocks

[Mike in GA]

How hard is it to replace the front shocks on my MC 96 A3?  Someone told me I only need to turn the steering wheel wide to one side, then the other. No jacking, no wheel removal Etc. True?

Easy on most coaches up front. Most of the shocks are gas charged now, so require some push or a jack to compress. If they don't come with bushings, get new ones. Add penetrant to the threads and wire brush if necessary. Give the penetrant a day or two to soak in.
