as to the threads... on the height adjusting set, they look okay, but might have fused/welded themselves. will tell you this weekend, when i fit the new springs ;-)

the top nut, had come a bit loose, which i saw mentioned on another car thread somewhere, that a few have done that, and worn the nut. so will take photo's and post soon.

Okay job went well. Threads all good.

The bearing at top spring mount are 6204-2z

Both don't look good, with both having part of the metal protector rusting away. So will replace with -2rs ie rubber seals. The 2 means double sided.

I guess I should look at the rear end as well, not sure if they have bearings, as they don't need to turn.
