Nice Purchase

Quick question.... have you got ABS on your car? If so are these ABS struts?

Non ABS struts don't have the place to fit the ABS sensor.

Very nice, are you getting him to build the rears for you too?

erm...

Are these not ABS struts then?

Hadn't even given that a throught.

Can you tell from the pictures???

if not, can they be modified to fit the ABS sensor? or something removed from my struts and fabricated on to these?

permission to say oh cock.

are these abs bits....????????

mikes2 · 22-01-10, 09:39 PM

they look like ABS units, although the one on the right looks to have part of the bracket broken (it may be a bad photo)

Gaz · 22-01-10, 10:06 PM

So if they are the ABS bits, could the bit on the one on the right be repaired?

I can't tell from the pictures without looking at both my cars. Luckily I have one of each type. I'll take a look tomorrow

I just remembered on of your other posts about ABS sensors and thought I would ask. I doubt it would be easy to convert if they are non ABS hubs as the alignment of the ABS sensors is critical to its operation.

If these struts are ok, make sure you remember to purchase new ABS caps for the sensors, these set the correct gap between the sensor and the Hub, otherwise it will be the orange lamp of doom!!!!
