Got's my 2 piece struts almost rockin'.........! :-p
<b>How they used to look!</b>
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/41804/imag0001.2.jpg">
<b>aaaaahhhhh nice and clean and painted! I had them blasted with aluminum oxide, they looked sooooo good bare, very light aluminum color, but the guy told me they'd rust, so I primered them tonight and will paint them black tomorrow.</b>
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/41804/imag0005.jpg">
<b>Got's the new "19mm" ball joint extenders for the new struts!</b>
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/41804/imag0002.4.jpg">
<b>New setup with the cast knuckles are much stronger and heavier than the original struts.</b>
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/41804/imag0003.3.jpg">
<b>Gonna have to press out the hubs and bearings and fit some new 4x100 hubs and bearings.</b>

<b>Got's new 2Bennett spring perches, gonna epoxy them w/J-B weld to the struts for added stregnth.</b>

nice work garza!
btw, you missed a spot on the upright :-P
Hopefully the c-clips that hold the bearing in come out nicely. I had a helluva time with mine, but all 4 uprights were from a North Eastern car, which saw a fair share of salt in its day.

They raise the roll center and reduce the amount of lateral weight transfer when cornering.
