front strut assembly

[Acidburn]

This any good?

Slight thread highjack, but along the same lines. I've got both front struts off the car and stripped down. I've had them sandblasted, painted them in hammerite and now I'm ready to start rebuilding with the koni shocks.

However, I've been taking my time and now find myself sitting in work, wondering if I'll be able to rebuild from memory. Maybe it will all be obvious when I sit down with the parts in front of me but I don't want to suddenly find I'm stuck.

I would be grateful if somene could give a brief summary of the order in which the parts are added to the strut. One thing I'm particularly struggling to picture is where the shouldered collar fits on the shock.

Sorry if it sounds like a blond question, but trying to anticipate any problems.

Thanks

Alistair

Hi I`m trying to build my struts from parts out of a box I`ve bought the foam bump stops and gaiters from Audi costing £90 for the rear but they cant supply the front bilstine foam bump stops so my question is what do the rubber gaiters attached to on the front?

cheers in advance Jamie
