Ah I see, yes they do. As the diagram above shows, bushes/seals and washers are used. Numbers 17, 18 and 19 on that diagram.

Wasn't me chap. Was it a halfords pro set you got? They're great value! Apart from the plastic cases they're in. Got all my stuff in a 4' high tool chest now :D

Made by Goodyear, as long is it doesn't break until after oil change its paid for itself which is good enough for me.

It's a rover K series one, looking to hopefully squeeze a 1.8 VVC in, should be very interesting when it's done!

Yes mate, finally !! Advisory was subframe corroded not as bad as it sounds. Only surface rush so needs a rub down and coating with underseal.
