Anyone know where to buy spare parts for these struts?
Just taken my car for mot and the nsf strut is a bit too loose .
It looks like there is some kind of seal in the lower section that is worn and allows the strut to wobble---I need the seal/and or bearing plus probably the cap that holds it all in.
Any advise will be gratefully recieved.
Cheers
IAN

What exactly is loose? the strut insert inside the strut? the strut lower mounting on the cotter pin? or the track rod end to strut balljoint? By the way you describe a seal and a cap it sound like your descriping the cap that covers the wheel bearing nut? Do you mean the wheel bearing is loose?

Or if you mean the seal where the shaft enters the lower section of the strut it sounds like your innards are shot, in which case you will need to buy a new insert.
Type-911.co.uk stocks these
