Replacement front struts

[Retired John]

What is the average Km people get from the front struts please ?
and also the springs ?
I am not happy with the bash and crash of ours and have been told to replace the struts springs also the bearing on top and the mounts to be sure ?

When I did mine I got everything from Ford and built complete units so everything was new mine had done 105000 mls and was not to bad but as a camper you tend to be on the limit for weight I uprated mine to 470 spec to be boss of the job if I was not building it as a camper and running it as a van I would have left it as it was

I'd also think some of your roads will be a bit rough out there from what I've seen on outback truckers makes some of the tracks I go down on car rally's a motorway in comparison

Sometimes to see the best bits IMHO you need to tackle some dirt this was on the Great Central Road between Laverton and Ayres Rock a 1500km dirt doddle with a kazillion corrugations
