putting the cable ties in to stop the spring from fallig out is ok

but what you may have failed to realise is that the spring itself is now the length of the compressed strut, so when the strut is put back onto the car, the weight of the wheel and hub assemblies may cause the cable ties to come undo, leaving him with a trip to his local maplins to go and srouce some mroe to tie round

grade a potential moron he may be, but he's trying his hardest to get onto the short bus
