The ones i've seen are either 2 or 4 bolt attachment on each front strut. Wouldn't be strong enough on 1 bolt per side!Andy1.6 wrote:Just had another look and I really can only see one single bolt holding the top of the strut in?pip_polo wrote:i would've though there is 2 each side?

Alex, Si, Rob. Erm I can't think of any more. LOL when you said "It's layered in rainex"
Mk4 has a single suspension bolt sadly, however there are kits for the struts for mk4.

I think they bolt onto the studs you can see in the photo, two are used by the expansion bottle, so that would need resecuring. So very easy fit! (can see 3 studs each side you'd use.)Andy1.6 wrote:Here's what it's like on mine. Maybe I'm just missing something

Ok after a research, depending on how your engine setup is... You can secure the strut to the existing holes should they fit with the supplied washer (Wether you have that or not I don't know!). Either that or its a drill job (although I wouldn't fancy or recommend drilling into the area where suspension is!).
Sorry I can't be more help!

Arr so confusing! I'll just buy it and find out!

Just buy it, 'dry fit' it & it'll be obvious. U'll then be able to do everyone else a 'how to' guide!Andy1.6 wrote:Arr so confusing! I'll just buy it and find out!
