Yeah, that's what the garage said after they just replaced my battery.

How often do you guys take your battery out though? I don't really see it as a problem and if it improves the handling it doesn't seem like much of a big deal especially as it's just 2 bolts?

My battery has been out once in 13yrs to put a new one in. 4 nuts. Hardly a disaster.

I had to take mine out as it was flat, so I put a replacement in, battery box had to be taken apart as well as brace off.

When bolting the corrected screws in the strutsdoes it needs the shims the old screws had?
