Hi all - I am certain that there is a non-AM source for these small struts (one set of nomenclature I've found is: 95662Y F3 0065N, and underneath this set are the #s: 227/13 F 02. A recent example of all this came home to me last week when I learned that Ford makes the identical 02 sensors for my '10 V8V as does AM, and for (a good bit) LESS cost. My shop found 4 for $500.....(parts only of course).
I am hesitant to pay almost 75 bucks for what looks to be a 25 dollar strut.....and 18 bucks to ship.....geez!
ANY leads/thoughts are appreciated.

You'll want the 30Nm spec. The size is this one:


Do look around, there's more than this one available online.

Mark - thnks - I did - which prompted me to pose the question I did. Thanks to UltraMarine I found a suitable part at a decent savings.....after all, these are 'wear' items so I expect them to need replacing/
BTW< I pick up my newly worked-on (new twin plate clutch from Velocity!) V8V this morning!
