Re: 850 Broken bolt

Re: Fuel rail pressure still too low AFTER replacing sensor, fuel pump, PEM and filter

I understand your frustration. When things go bad, it is sometimes hard to get everything corrected again.

Re: FDPP #2

Bare strut only available with spring cushion. Installation may need other parts that I do not have. Spring? Soft top cushion, boot, bearing plate, hardware needed?

Re: FDPP #2

You would need a good spring compressor. Not a cheap one - they are dangerous. Is the spring broken? It is hard to tell what else you need until it is removed. Do you have tools or someone to do this work?
