Hi all,

I am experiencing a "Bonk" on the front right hand strut area when going over even light bumps.
I will investigate the suspension, however, when i opened the hood there were red rubber particles in the Strut Well.
Attached are 2 pictures of the same.
If anyone has an exploded view of the front strut assemble so i could pin point it, it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Russell

Would be number 2 or 12 I reckon.

@Crezzer, thanks for this!
I dont see any rubber rings in there, however, it may well be part of one of the items.
Thank you

Hi,
Upon further investigation inside the wheel arch, i can see the red gasket / seal sits between 2 and 12 (on above exploded view) as per attached pictures.
Has anyone got experience with this or removed the front shock absorber?
Could this be the source of my "Bonk"?
Thanks
Russell

It could be the sleeve which goes over the coil itself?

Has the car been involved in an accident as there’s a lot of overspray on the strut mounting bolts and electrical connector?

I was sure I'd read about this on the US forum, and a quick Google search revealed the thread I remember seeing
