Yeah i thought that. But where the clamps are holding the spring in place, when i go to put them onto the shock, they dont slip over the covers as the clamp feet are in the way. dont know how to get round this.
Ive just ordered a new top strut. Gonna try that 1st as i think its whats making the noise. Bushes keep bobbing up and down, think they shouldnt move like they are. Will report back once ive fitted it.
