Had to replace all of the front control arms and tie rod ends on my 2000 passat glx 4-motion wagon. five out of 8 control arms were in very poor conditions with torn boots over the ball joints. the ball joints in the controll arms were torn and ball joins were dry and noisy. the tie rod ball joins were worn out and making noises. the car has not be wrecked or damaged other wise.

I have to replace the control arms on my Passat. I was going to do it myself, but the shop that discovered the problem is telling me that the front struts have to be removed in order to replace the control arms. I am suspicious of this, is this true?
