Post by: GJSEB79 on 27 November 2011, 19:12: do you mean on the front suspension struts mate ie bolt in engine bay

Post by: GunnerCP on 27 November 2011, 22:35: No, I assume hes talking about the one at the base of the strut at the back. There's a bracket that holds the strut in place relevant to the hub....
