Hi

Taking apart the front suspension to replace the strut inserts, I removed the pad sensor wire from the strut and in doing so broke the :cens: :cens: clip.

It’s the one that has a threaded stub it fits onto the strut.

I’ve looked all over reoloem to no avail. Has anyone had success in finding the part number?

TIA.

Hi Benhar

Sorry, not that one. That’s the one that fits on the back of the dust shield.

The one I’m referring to fits on the strut and is on a screw thread . The cable then clips into it.

Probably this one
You’re a star. Thank you. Why I didn’t notice that one I don’t know.

Cheers.
