If you take the passanger side wheel off, you can get to the bottom 2 bolts fairly easily from the side. Youll have to take the cv boot heat shield off too. If you have tiptronic/auto, its a lot harder to do than a manual car.
ALSO
If youre trying to get those bolts off from the top, youre wasting your time. They are welded on top. You have to get under the car with about a foot and a half long ratchet extension and get them off from the bottom.
Ok i just took the passenger side front wheel off and i still cant see how im supposed to get to those 2 bolts....ANY HELP OR LINKSGUYS PLEASE!!

Wait if they are welded on the top then how come i had to have one person hold the one i got off still with a wrench. Because if i try to get it from the bottom, the whole thing moves and it doesnt unscrew. And after i got that first bolt off from the cat>dp the whole bolt and nut came off..see pics.

But dont you need to have someone hold the topnut tight so it wont move while i unscrew it...so im not just twisting the bolt and nut for shi*s and giggles
