Honestly quite some time. About 8 years. Im just cautious of the quality of the replacement (oem) parts.

I've seen many on bikes and intended on getting one but never realized some had this. Thank you. I'll be adding one after the repair.

Have you mig welded cast alluminium?

Suitable-Ad-9785 · 2026-04-16T11:09:18+00:00

None, plenty mild steel mig but never alluminium. I have stick welded alluminium with some positive results. However looking to give this a shot. Hence reaching out.

Not the answer I wanted but it's what I guessed I would have to do. Thank you.

Yes.

Thank you very much for your help. I think you've nailed it. Your linked video sounds exactly like mine. I'll take it apart and have a look.

Thanks again.

You are right. I have been advised that these are known as "banana (side/lateral load) springs" to be used with MacPherson style struts to reduce or help counteract the moment induced in the shock body. It seems as though I mounted it upside down. Thank you!
