Hey all, had my front struts back from AVO today after a "rebuild", what do you all think, it seems to me like they arn't quite as good as they should be, they where soaked with oil, will it run out of them if they are left on their sides for a bit, or should it stay in the shocks?



The spring adjusters are still seized on, and in a bad way too?

When compared to the rear ones i had done...............





I know the fronts are alot simpler, and they where considerably cheaper to do, i'm just checking you lot think they are ok, as im not sure? Dont want to stick them back on if they are naff.
Any comments would be great!

very much so!

if you paid by credit card i would also inform avo that if they are not sorted (including collecting and return at their expense) you will be taking further action. basically its you contacting the credit card company to recover your money which in turn will then recover it from avo as they have not provided the service which you agreed to pay for or they have charged you for.

I can spot 4 new nuts for your money To be honest I'd expect to see the bodies cleaned up so the thread for the platform is clean I wouldn't be happy with that due to the appearance.
