Upper rear spring seat rotted out....
« on: November 17, 2012, 08:24:25 pm »
So after tackling the front struts I thought the rears would be 10x easier. Wrong...    One lower mounting bolt is rusted to all hell and is not coming out unless I cut it.  Both rear springs are snapped and both rear upper spring mounts are rusted completely out. So the question remains, where the heck do I purchase rear spring seats from?

i get tons of suspension stuff from www.germanautoparts.com     www.idparts.com might carry some stuff too, just ordered all new spring seats, strut mounts, and spring cushions from german.

I should have mentioned this is for an mk1. Will an mk2 spring seat fit?
