To replace the front strut mounts on a new Corsa, begin by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheels. Next, detach the strut assembly by loosening the bolts securing it to the steering knuckle and the top mount under the hood. Replace the old strut mounts with new ones, reassemble the strut assembly, and ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reattach the wheels and lower the vehicle.
