Stu Title: Re: Rear top strut for Delta 1.6HF Post by: Neil Lewis on 14 December, 2010, 01:32:16 PM I don't know what you mean by fell apart but, if my experiences are anything to go on, the rubber bit falls out of the metal cap. If you use a lot of Superglue on the rubber, you can glue it back together. Mine used to last about a year before needing more glue.
It's a bad design with nothing to key the metal and rubber together and to make matters worse, the metal cap is cone shaped so it's juts bound to come apart. I solved the problem once and for all by welding a thick washer on top of the top nut and that stop it falling out. By the way, it won't cause a problem when driving because the anti-roll-bars provide enough upward force to keep it loosely together. Neil x |
