    Mk 1 Front shocks query

    Guys, I picked up a set of front shocks/struts the other day and was wondering do these slide inside the strut tower (ie the flange that the bottom of the springs site on ??) as the ones I was supplied have no place for the spring to sit, ie they look like simple straight rear shocks.

    if ur not sure what I mean, have a look at this pic:

    any tips appreciated, before I take them back !!

    MK1 Front shocks are cartridge inseterts.

    They go inside of the front strut assembly.

    I can pop up some pics later on if you need 'em.
