Also if your struts are coilovers now, will need new ones, which I have ready to go, only would need was new bearings, and swap straight over.

You will need new strut with new spring seat.

Y won't I be able to use the struts I using for my coilovers?

27th July 2010, 17:06

well if they are chagned to coilover with coilover springs.. the spring seat would of been removed.. need a picture to comfirm this... i have the apex suspension kit for say... and have struts i could put into the deal for fan extra 10 20quid

27th July 2010, 17:27

Couldn't I just Put a new spring set in or wouldn't that work?

No, coilover spring are narrower than standard and apex springs.

27th July 2010, 19:23

i have some struts... please read.... where are you based?

27th July 2010, 19:31

north wales mate which is miles away from you. didnt you say they needed new bearings?

27th July 2010, 19:32

yer well if i was buying second hand struts would changed the bearings. also remembering that some saxo are flat type or tappered type.

27th July 2010, 19:35

i think mine are tappered but not 100% sure.

27th July 2010, 19:37

sorry about bein really thick but how do you kno the difference

27th July 2010, 19:50

well have to check your drive shafts... what year is the car?

old saxos are normally flat... new saxo after 2000 are normally tappered.

27th July 2010, 19:55

its a x reg so 2000/2001 so mine should be tappered. what are the ones your sellin

27th July 2010, 19:57

there no bearing in them at the moment.. but like i said should replace the bearing anyway.. save you job if there are fu*ked!!

well i would check the drive shafts just to make sure.. as it the bearing are wrong for the drive shaft will damage the drive shafts.

27th July 2010, 19:57

and that year right on the crossover year from mk1 to mk2. so would check

27th July 2010, 20:03

will have a check when get chance. how much would you want for yours struts delivered m8? mines the mk2. the coilovers i put on where off a 03 plate if thats any help

27th July 2010, 20:09

just been out now and just found my old standard spring seats in the shed so coilovers off and re fit the seats should solve it i hope

27th July 2010, 20:12

yer that could work... how is the threaded bit of the coilover iftted on the strut tho?

got pictures of the coilovers would be easier to help

27th July 2010, 20:23

it looks like the coilovers sit over the strut heres the best pic i could get

27th July 2010, 20:25

is the thre4aded part welded into place? i think that will need removing.

omg the coils are so compressed!! that is really bad dude.

27th July 2010, 20:32

no dont think that it is doesnt look like it anyways it just looks like it been placed over but if it is welded on shouldnt be a big job removing it i hope. if they come of that strut ok they will be comin of the car on sunday its the most awful ride ever. thanks alot for your help m8 its much appreciated
