I have a 1997 starlet sportif on 40mm springs but standard shocks (both brand new) and earlier today I noticed the piston in my rear offside strut was sticking up about 4inches, and my rear nearside about half an inch. The top mount is evidently broke and so needs replacing and a little strengthening work doing on it. Will the rear top strut mounts from the 1993-1996 1.3ltr starlet fit okay? I can't seem to source the mounts for my year, well not a feasable price anyway. If anyone can help at all, would be much appreciated.

Common on these though is to incorrectly fit the spacer provided so the strut sits on only the brass bush which is pressed into the rubber top mount


I bet both of the above have had the springs incorrectly fitted, very easy to do!
