So I decided to start stripping an old spare set of front spindles/struts down, so that I can start assembling my D2s. They were an old set of SHP's that had been re-inserted and the adjustment knob had been patched over. Well I pulled these crusty things off of the shelf and started taking them apart and found a few surprises. The springs are a metallic charcoal gray color. I am guessing they are some aftermarket spring but I am not sure. Any ideas? http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt93/BC_99/20130908_170201_zpsa19eedff.jpg After I got the springs out, I noticed that the strut inserts weren't seated all the way into the housing. They were screwed in almost all of the way but there was a small gap on each between the hex flange of the insert and the housing. So I clamped them into my vise and started spinning them out and pulled these out. http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt93/BC_99/20130908_170214_zpsb8c53a87.jpg Unfortunately, one of them is blown, I think. I can compress it but it doesn't extend back. Any thoughts about these springs and strut inserts? Anyone want or need them for spares? PM me and we can make a deal as I have no use for them, and would be happy to help someone out that needed them. BC_99
