Front Suspension Strut (3)

What a rainy day! Nothing for it apart from to potter about in the garage playing with suspension parts.

What's left of the strut components. The bump stop (far left in the tray) has disintegrated

Actually, this post is about the other suspension strut, so I am afraid will be a bit boring as it is exactly the same as the previous suspension strut. Main points:

  • Disassemble the strut
  • Wire-brush the components
  • Etch prime them
  • Paint some silver and some satin black
  • Dunk the nuts, bolts etc in de-rusting dip
  • Order a shed load of spares costing circa £200 and await their arrival
  • Have a bath in Swafega.
