welshpug 1,646 Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) The inverted damper with small i.d spring doesn’t use them, as you noted they don’t fit. Edited December 27, 2012 by welshpug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdCherry 34 1 Cars Posted December 28, 2012 The strut wiper seal should be sufficient, and if it isn't there could be a couple of reason's why: 1) Your not cleaning it often enough 2) You haven't replaced it often enough 3) The design is crap As is mostly the case, all 3 apply.

PhilNW 43 Posted December 28, 2012 always had covers on them which is why i want to replace them good enough for skip brown etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EdCherry 34 1 Cars Posted December 28, 2012 If we all lived by the motto 'good enough' then we would never progress. Eibach sell some dust covers which encapsulate the spring as well, made from a neoprene fabric I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
