I have two front struts with springs and spindles complete. If you can make it to the meet in Kingston I could bring them. $30 bucks for both, both struts are good no leaks, springs are good and spindles have good bearings no noise. Brakes are off as are the disks. The strut shaft rubbers are ripped as to be expected. I'm not into taking them apart and shipping as I have no time right now, sorry.

It's pretty easy to knock the tone rings off and put them back on with a hammer. I just used a big blount chisel and a ball peen hammer. when I found out that new tones rings are like $66ea or something stupid. So if you could get the spindles cheap locally and someone could just send you the tone rings...that's the only difference between the ABS and nonABS parts I believe.

I'll measure the outer diameter of both spindles and get back to you. If the material is of the same thinckness just drill the holes out yourself (actually they should be reamed) then taper the top edge. The bolt retention ring on the ball joint would need to have the same depth as the thiner ball jont aas well or the bolt hole won't line up. Now I'm thinking we might be screwed because of the retainer bolt.

What you no buy my spindel I KILL YOU! Then I kill your dog, your family, people who you don't even know. I kill them all. 'Achmed' Check out this link, I have employed your cat to help me. http://www.heyquiz.com/quiz/cat_kill" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Funny, the small spinels were only used in 92 so if you ordered 93 and up you should of been find. Canadian Tire has a listing for both and a sale on back bacon this week too eh.

I love the tradition that when another man comes to visit you in your igloo it's impolite not to let him bed with your wife. I'm glad I'm not married.
