Get yourself 2 hammers and a bar, with a little bit of pressure between the strut and lower control arm put one hammer one side of the strut section that the joint goes through and smack the other side with the other hammer.
Should do the trick buddy.
Let us know how you go.

What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared. |
