Damper replacement

[Smileymiley]

Evening gentlemen

Noticed on my v6 ph2 the front damper the bottom cups which the spring sits and locates in, onto the damper are heavily corroded.

The car either new cups making else replacement dampers bought.

My question is are these dampers exclusive to the v6 or are they generic and easily available at a realistic price . I’m
Gonna guess there rare and ill have to manufacture some new cups. I’m gonna presume it’s the latter unfortunately.



Regards miles

Borrowed the photo

as you can see the cup is located in the middle of the damper just above the lower mounting bracket.

Picture speaks a thousand words

I'd get the unit refurbed, it's unlikely with the thickness of metal there it will have detrimented the integrity. Blast/powder coat, rebuild internals.

:approve:

Also remember it only takes 1mm of steel to create 10mm of rust scale so things may look worse than they really are!
