Well I assembled the ZT strut after cleaning and regreasing the strut top bearing.

Everything went nice and smoothly, so after refitting the drop link, I proceeded to refit the new leg to the car.

All went nicely until it came to torquing up the pinch bolt, I wasn't happy with the "feel" of things, ie the bolt felt as if it was being pulled into yield.

So as I don't have a spare bolt to hand, I shall have to wait until Monday to get a couple of replacements.

The car does look much better than it did on Sunday however with it's three part nearside spring, and at least I know when I fit the new offside spring, nothing will be seized as the temporary spring I fitted to that side has only been in place for four weeks
