Suspension and Steering

All wheel bearings and other bearings are currently available. We still occasionally have the original spec rear wheel bearings, but they can be quite expensive.

Bolt packs for suspension (16x bolts, nuts and washers all in BZP) does front and rear are available at £33.00 plus PnP. We can also supply them in sets for front only (10x bolts, £22.00) or rear (6x bolts, £11.00). A complete car set with bolts, screws and washers for suspension including the brackets to floor is £46.00. These are “S” class tensile the same as the original.

Complete bolt+nut fitting kits for Ginetta G15 front suspension are also available. All bolts are also available separately. Some stainless bolts also to order at approx 2x price, please ask (not for suspension).

Unfortunately there are very few front shock absorbers available. We have a few rear shocks. We will maintain current prices as long as possible. Special requirements can be catered for including re-conditioning and springs. Alternative suppliers include ProTech, SPAX, AVO, GAZ, etc.

Note: Re-conditioned items carry a replacement warranty for six months from time of sale. If you are not happy with what you have received, please contact us immediately.

* Quentin shows us how to replace a rack gaiter on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx5nZN2qBeI. OK, so its an Enfield 8000 Electric City Car not an Imp, but its the same rack. He got his dimensions completely wrong, they should be 1/2” and 3/4” spanners. Unfortunately the gaiter we sent had a manufacture flaw, so we met in Coventry to swap it... Therefore you get to see the whole exercise twice. Clearly there are different ways to do this... Remember to use EP80 gear oil (same as in the gearbox), grease doesn't work in Imp racks!
