Walter, does GWD sell both parts?

Nope, I wish though...been looking for a camber compensator top strut bearing housing for a long time now (see other threads about this too).

Ok, your in luck.. I had the spring plates off the arms, and was able to take some measurements..

The short answer is that they will fit. I remember now being told that they were a tight fight, about .01" to tight, and would need to be machined.. put on a lathe and cut to fit.. I trial fitted it, and could not get the black plasting bushing that goes over the spring plate to fit, and did not want to force it.. If you go this route, you will need to ensure your spring plates are clear of any foreign material, so that the fit is tight..

Hope that helps. Any questions let me know.
