cheers glenn
o/s front stripped, strut rebuilt correctly 1st time lol. I put parts in a line so new which order they fitted lol.
I think the shock were original, motorcraft and very tired. the spring had broken, hadn't notice anything odd and no noise when driving, the top coil had snapped off.
Also mentioned to the painter she wants his magic touch, hes booked til mid april so should fit in perfect.
Then new wheels and enjoy!!
