Hmm OK - thanks - that´s a puzzler then as they don´t seem to be in the parts book

I´m sorry but I have to warn you - once you´ve done the front you´ll notice how much the rear needs to be done too...
...it is a very simple set up - but those combined threaded parts with end caps going into control arms and also threading onto ¨bolts¨ is a bit strange design choice - cross threading nightmare in the making if you ask me.
Where did you get your springs? I´ve measured mine and they seem to be in spec when uncompressed but the outer surfaces are pitted which kind of makes my chequebook itch (which isn´t a good thing)
