Hi all, on an mk2 octavia hatchback, do you really need to drop the arm on the rear subframe in order to replace the dampers? It's what i'm seeing in the videos. Was hoping I could do the dampers on street. I know it'll be more of a pain with springs but one of the dampers is leaking so really needs replaced asap and I've waited long enough. Just really want to do it myself. Thanks

Nothing complicated, very doable on the street.
