Capri Mk2 inserts

[Andrade]

One of the inserts on my Capri got busted yesterday it's now squeaking like a mouse with every bump. Can't seem to find a standard part locally to replace it with. I have two used inserts that came off a mk2 escort. The height of the strut's body seems the same, the thread at the top seems the same, however the diameter of the shaft is noticeably thinner. Can I use these anyway?

 

Where can I buy a set of new struts from? Are the mk3 ones the same?

 

Thanks guys

mk2 & 3 is the same. To be honest mk3 only exist in England..

Officialy Ford never called it the mk3 which makes it a facelifted mk2.

Trie and find a mk3 in Germany....... a what??? will they say.

 

Rally Design has some Gaz ones which are adjustable

Partnumber 4103

 

Burton does them also but cost 2 pounds more each.. http://www.burtonpower.com/parts-by-fitment-type/parts-by-car-model-ford/ford-capri/gzgai4103.html

however any ideas where to get any standard ones?
