That will do it, the one on my 323 was like that but rusted to the tower and strut. One piece came out rusted to the strut one piece beat out with a hammer and chisel and the rest grounded out
wow.... my front strut just started to rust after this winter stored semi-outdoor. i sprayed with rust check rust killer and "forgot the name rust paint"
i am gonna get new coilover kit sooner later during the summer XD
