Rear suspension strut wanted (hatchback)

Post by rob-81 »

My estate has recently blown it's octopus and the hatchback, not wanting to be left out, blew its rear suspension strut/cylinder a couple of days ago. I haven't managed to have a good look as the car is on it's belly on my drive but the rear sphere and and strut is soaked in LHM. i guess I need a new/sh one. Has anyone got one kicking about that they fancy selling to me??
Thanks in advance,
Rob

If the sphere is covered in LHM too, then it could be something as basic as a split sphere seal.

I'd get the car up in the air and do some investigating, as it would be a complete arse to change a suspension cylinder only to find it was nothing more than a split sphere seal!
this might be a signature
