Strut assembly? I hit a curb...

Unfortunately I hit a curb in my 84 GSL the other day and I need to replace my strut assembly.. It appears to be bent. I have ordered a set of kyb shocks, but I still need the strut itself (front right strut). I cannot seem to find one anywhere. I live in Victoria, BC, Canada, but would be happy to ship one from pretty much anywhere at this point. Would be much appreciated if someone could give me a hand in locating one! Thanks.

You might try joing a Fb rx7 group, someone just pulled off a set and is doing coil overs.

You should be able to locate a strut assy in the For Sale section here.

They come up for sale every once and a while, post a Wanted Ad.

Remember you need a large bearing (85-85) spindle.

Hopefully the seller can disassemble it down to just the spindle/shock tube to save you shipping cost.

remember the spindles are larger on the 84-85. So I don't think Earlier ones will work.

I just tried to post in the for sale section; however, it says i'm not allowed to post in that section for some reason... even though I was able to post here. I'm pretty new to this site. Why can't I post there?

You need to have 10 post before posting in the for sale section. I thought you also had to have 10 post to post in this section.
