I'm looking for the bushing at the end of the suspension strut. It doesn't have a part no in the pic.

I'm sure Dealer prices are mad.

It looks like a hand job -



but how do you tighten the bolts with the suspension at normal height? Would having the front of the car on ramps work?

Also where can I get the shaft sleeve for a leaking steering rack? I saw it in a post here, but could not see if they got it or if it worked.
I'll change the rack once I stop being unemployed.

Is this the correct OEM no - 365604

that's quite cheap.

Or would https://silentblocks.com/index.php?id_p ... &id_lang=1) be better, one time job?

I think the first one here is correct - I just changed mine. I got them from AEP parts and they're Meyle brand which i think are considered decent but of course, time will tell....

I need to change mine again, and want to get better quality ones.
I have an estate and it's often loaded so it's not surprising that they failed.

Who makes the oem ones? Or which a good branded ones to use?
