The other side has proved to be a bit more of a problem the dreaded top nut on the strut. Tried cracking it while strut was still on car. Wouldn't budge. So crunched the spring up with the compressors and used a filter strap around the shaft then locked a big pair of vise grips on and then nut...

That's the first side done now. Chopped the top of the old bellows off. Be doing the other side in a minute. Lol. Have a sill to weld up at the of this month. Not looking forward to that job lol.

Thanks for replying just showed the the new parts to my neighbour and he reckons they are the bump stops too. I will chop the tops of the old bellows off. As you said metal on metal contact and the spring will be singing. In the past I haf to use an old bicycle inner tube at the bottom of the...

When I tried the bump stop on with the new bellow it just doesn't have any travel on the strut stretched out at full length. without the bump stop on and the new bellow fitted the new part has a flat bottom that meets the top of the strut so i am guessing the top part of the bellow is the bump...

Hi just wondered if anyone has the above part lying around? My one has lost part of the metal on the outside edge when I took it off to replace the seal seems to be pretty soft metal. Failing that does anyone know where I could get one. I've done a request on a well known breaker quote site...

My next door neighbour had a look at the bearing and he thinks I should send it back as the rear bearing is not moving lol. Back to the drawing board...

Just had a look at the new wheel bearing and found that the hub flange is 5mm smaller than the original the new flange has 5mm shaved off the back the height of the hub itself is the same. Checked the bearings too front one is fine but the rear one doesn't move at all. On the original bearing...

Thanks for getting back to me I think I will torque it to 200Nm pretty tight I would say for a wheel bearing. Any idea on the grease for the stub axle? I guess 23years on one bearings not bad lol. Thanks again for the advice?

Hi as above I'm about to replace this item over the weekend. A couple of questions when you fit the new bearing does the stub axle need a bit of grease on it prior to fitting bearing as Haynes manual doesn't mention anything about this. Secondly my torque wrench only goes up to 200Nm as the...

Just had a bit more of a look at the rear suspension today as there's a random creaking noise on the back end sounds like it's coming from the near side checked the spring just a bit of surface rust can't see any cracks. Also had a look at the upper and lower arms there does seem to be a bit of...

I know what you mean I replaced the top strut mounts and the bearings last year when I did a suspension refurb. Outside just now nearly finished the roll bar links on the back of the car.The n/s link below had a fair amount of play in it the other wasn't as bad. These parts now only seem to last...
