S7 front (inboard) damper bush internal-diameter problem.

Hi,

I've just received new dampers from Dave at Dampertech, Rotherham. the problem is the bolts on the car are 9.4mm and the damper bushes take 12mm. Can anyone say whether these the wrong dampers or is there something else I need to do please to fit them?

Talk to Dampertech they should be able to supply you with 3/8" bushes which is the bolt size. The way I solved it was getting some thin wall tube turned up which pressed into the damper bush.

Thanks Peter, I shall.
