Hi all,

Next week im going to start doing the above, I was wondering if you could let me know everything i would need to build complete struts off the car?
Am I right in saying its this
The following i have bought new so far:
Top mounts
Top mount bearings
Springs
Shocks
Bumpstops
Shock dust boot thingys

I assume all i would need extra is the top spring cups?

Or have i missed something else?

It depends what you got in the top mount kits.

Potentially you may still need:

Pair of spring top pans
Pair of mount top cups
Pair of large washers
Pair of small washers

It's not as bad as it looks; the bits in bold are all the same thing!

Bloody hell a lot of it is expensive
two top mounts (or mounting assy) which i assume is right
Works out as 100 quid?
The bearings are 50 for the 2
Which means 150 for two mounts and bearings?
rest cups are 29 quid for the two which is ok
I think im going to get lemforder ones if I can

(I havent bought the mounts yet but was going to in the morning)

Cheers for the above two posts guys, I didnt realise that lmao.

The other thing that confuses me is diagrams for both front shock and sprong show two differnt rod protectors and two top cup cover things?

503326
525413

5051081

Needless to say peugeot have bummed me.
Theres a bit of a price markup at newport lookers too.
The total was 399
But most of that was the HDI 21mm bars.
