WTB: vr4 suspension

[Rusty]

After just figuring out yet another way of braking something on the ol' VR4
i have managed to snap the top off of one of my front 40mm bilsteins,
i am now in the market to purchase another set of suspenson.
i need help before i get sea sick (standard suspension is now currently in the vehicle)
does anyone have a complete set of decent suspension just 'lying around'
price range various considering the type/age of the suspension

let me know

cheers
Russ,

How the hell did you manage to do that? And where did it break exactly?

 

[Rusty]

bitstein break

It must havew fractured on one of my more 'enthuiastic drives'

When it actually broke, i was just driving normally in traffic. i turned a corner, unloading the suspension. heard a thud... then bang bang bang as it tried to reseat itself.

The shock itself broke where the polished stainless part of the shock steps down to form the thread at the top of the shock. Where the top nut goes through the strut top.

or i could get motivated get the thing tig'd up

I doubt that welding up the shaft would hold. That steel is bloody hard, I tried to cut an old shaft up once but gave up after bluntening 2 hacksaw blades.

you would be lucky if it could be welded mate,

can you replace the shaft?
