I bought some compression struts the other week on ebay, they came but they looked like they hadnt been adjusted for a long while.

I got the first strut split so they can be cleaned but on the second one i noticed that one of the tie rods has been bent.. but on removal the worst happend... the thread on the insitu adjuster has been stripped from the bent tie rod..

anyone know where i can get a insitu adjuster from for the welded style compression struts?

these are the style i have and i need the adjuster with the lock rings on the right which holds the tie rod end

this is the part i need



as you can see the tie rod is bent, must have smashed a kerb or such like which has caused the thread in the in-situ adjuster to cross resulting in no thread left.

so i have two options, buy a new insitu adjuster and tie-rod, or buy two tie rods the next size up and re-tap my in-situe adjuster to suit.

does anyone know where i can get this style of adjuster from?
