mkcortina Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 i think the rubber was burnt out and then new bearings were put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- i5oogt - Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 The early mk2's have a specific top that only came out in that model. The MK1's cortinas tops are different. I asked around down here but it seems no one has any they want to part with. you can change to the later series2 strut tops but you will need to change the inserts too as they are different. Your best bet is see if they can be re built or try and source replacement series 1 tops ovreseas/ebay etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Ahh I see. I am using escort shocks and capri struts but would really like to keep the roller bearing top if possiable. I have asked Chris @ suspension tech to price a rebuild so will post costs once known.. If they are to much then I may as well just roll with aftermarket tops.

Gaz Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Got a response from Chris.... on a Sunday too, good work! Hi Gareth, Yes I can supply these new, not cheap though, $440 inc gst each. Rebuilding in urethane (black), with new bearing $390 inc gst each, Hope this helps Cheers Chris So that fucks that idea up. Might look into after market options.
