Re: looking for rear lower strut
Is that not just a rear ARB painted red?

Re: looking for rear lower strut
Its the twin Anti roll bar trick mate, didn't spot the black one above it.
I am sure its just two standard anti roll bars fitted together with the bottom one painted red
This is Luke1990s guide for doing it, which i have copied from Fiesta-si.com
Hope that helps mate

Luke1990 :4 bolts, Dead simple, sort of.
Stuff needed:
2 Axel Stands
2 Bricks
13mm socket
15mm socket
Trolley jack
Breakers bar is really handy
HAMMER
4 bolts, 10-15mm longer than the current 4 on the ARB.
Put bricks in front of the front wheels to stop it rolling (life saver, good job i did this )
Loosen off rear wheel nuts
Jack rear of car up onto axle stands
spray the four bolts with WD40
Take rear wheels off
Undo the four bolts that go through the ARB 15mm for the fronts and 13mm for the backs
Now comes the tricky bit, Take the ARB off (probably fell off when you undid the bolts) get both arbs and lay them on top of each other, you need to offset them, for instance the top arb, the mounting bracket on the right touches the rear beam, but on the left hand side the bottom arb bracket is the one against the beam. This will make more sense when you try it out as there is no other way of doing it
Put a shock bolt through one end of the ARBs, this will hold them in the right place while you try and line the other end up with the bottom of the shock on the other side.
The first side will go in pretty easily, put a bolt in it to hold it in place, may need a few good taps with the hammer to get it well in there.
Now you have to line up the other side, this is just a bit of good old fashioned brute force, and a hammer. just keep pushing / pulling and hitting the end untill you can get it on the hole for the rear shock, then whack a bolt in it, dont do the bolts up yet.
The two smaller bolts, at this point i put the jack underneath the arbs to push them up to be level with the holes, make sure none of the mounting brackets get caught on the axle on the way up as they will bend. Once theyre lined up, put a bolt in and repeat for the other side.
Next Do the shock bolts up tight, youll have to alternate sides otherwise youll get one done up tightly and the other one wont reach the threads
Finally do up the 2 smaller bolts.
Congratulations
Hope that helps mate
