Afternoon all
Mk1 son has bought a 55 plate fiesta as a hack
It was cheap, and it doesn’t justify a large expenditure
So, the other day it snapped an osf spring, I've had a look, and there’s no way the strut is going to come to bits, the top nut is corroded to hell and the thread isn’t good, fantastic design means water drains straight into the strut top recessed mount 🤬
Silly question- is there a practical reason I can’t fit a ns strut and spring to the offside? The only difference between them as far as I can see is the brackets which carry the abs sensor wire and brake hose clip
Reason for question- nsf ones are much easier to get than os ones
TIA
