Don't know about in the US, but www.trgb.co.uk sells exactly this part in the UK for very little money, AND it is metal! I'm sure they'd ship one over to you. BTW, I don't know what metal they use, b

I believe the foams that come from most of the parts shops are originally supplied to them by Newton Commercial www.newtoncomm.co.uk. I'm reasonably sure that this includes the foams you can buy from

When you de-arch the rear spring, will the spring rate change? I very much doubt it - the elasticity of the metal doesn't change, the amount of metal doesn't change, its layout doesn't change, the on

No specific experience, but an immediate engineering concern. Where the shock attaches to the upright is not directly above or in line with the hub, but is just behind it - offset from the load. This

After having the same problem myself, I eventually just left the gasket out. Everything ran just fine without it, there was just a little gas escape from the joint, no real increase in noise, and no

This applied more to removing a spring from a shock, rather than fitting it, but the method could probably be adapted. I sat the car on axle stands, then used a jack under the suspension to compress

Hmm, everyone seems to have a different reason why the Spit rear axle is weak. For me it was the UJs - I've had three fail on me when driving, and it really is not funny when that happens (70mph, one
