Yes these are the ones from Paddocks really good and much better than the original which IMO seize and cause the drag strut to fracture.


Do the rubber/poly bushes sit directly on the roll bar ? On the original style theres a cup washer either side of the bush

Yes they sit on the roll bar with washers above and below.

I have my struts off. I've managed to get one spring off, just need to try and get the damper out!

Luckily at work we have just bought a small 10 tonne press, so that got the ball joints and bushes out

Need to get the other spring off, replacing all bushes, ball joints, trackrod ends, anti roll bar links. I've also got the lovelly job of stripping the underseal off. Want to get it done for Stoneliegh!!!:shock:
