Airride UK struts
« on: October 11, 2008, 11:27:12 PM »
Has anyone used Airride UK at all? i need to sort out the front air struts on my PT Cruiser,i have Airride Technologies billet ones but they've been on over 5 years now and one's gone solid,they are sealed with the bag seperate,i can get replacements from Airride but they're sooo expensive time they're here and i had a problem way back when i shipped then before-they wouldn't let me on the plane wiv em cos of the construction,Airride UK in Norwich can do a bag that uses the original strut,the hollow bags sit right on the original platform so its a solution,has anyone used them before or had any dealings with them? Ray does a swap but they are not as straightforward as Airride Technoogies obviously,these other kits are a simple bolt-on fix,someone told me of them,just wondered if anyone had used em??

Finally got to tear down this thing today and when off the ground,the wheel and leg have a huge amount of movement coming from the top mount,(probably why all the creaking on turning)something is seriously wrong inside the strut itself too (probablywhy the judderring when dropping),i guess it's just weighing up how to go about replacing them now especially as the pound ain't worth jack against the dollar :'(
