996 C4S. Changing strut bearings. Few urgent questions.
Hey guys,
I am getting the creaking/binding noise from front suspension when stationary and turning the steering. No noise over bumps etc. and I have decided to replace the front strut bearings to eliminate one possible cause.
Question - I am reading conflicting information on the process on the C4S. One thread says you need to remove the front half shafts to make room for the struts to come out of the wheel well. Here:

Another says that is not necessary. Here:
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...bearing-2.html
Can someone tell me which process is more accurate? Also, does anyone have the accurate part numbers for a 2003 C4S? I have PSS10s on there now, so not sure if that makes a difference or if I just need the OEM strut bearing still.
I am about to call suncoast and order parts. Anything else I should order and plan to replace while doing this job? Any other bushings of any sort?
Please advice! Thanks.

I dropped my half shafts before I replaced my struts. I'm sure you could do it with them in place a you could drop the bearing carrier/half shafts as one unit, but it's not that much harder to remove them.
