Front Struts for 360

Post by **SteveP** » 28 Apr 2008 02:02 pm

As above wanted for a late (87) 360.. not bothered about the condition of strut inserts as I'll be replacing these anyway. Anyone got anything?

Steve,

I have repaired ones on an exchange basis

How quick would you want the exchange unit? I'd want a new pair put on before the old ones are removed...

I might well be interested in a set too, Dai. If I'm fitting some (stiffer) lowering springs (did I mention lowering springs?), the last thing I want is soggy spring seats.

One of Nessy's struts collapsed the other day when I dropped it off the jack in our unit. Luckily it didn't take out the tyre (probably predictable, given that it was stationary!). That's my first failure. I don't fancy it happening at speed!

cheers

James

Same reason for me too Foggy, they 'look' alright but who knows what condition they're in inside the cups... and I've got new top mounts etc to fit at the same time

It's no biggy, I had both sides fail on the same car within 3 days and I didn't die. That car is seriously rotten though.

My struts are still ok I think.... you guys (apart from sven, bilbo and a few others) would be sick if you saw the white road(-ish) that I drove down tonight! - a strut killer if there ever was one!

I should have a suitable pair about for rebuild so as its you Steve a week or two for sending teh old ones back would be ok.
