hydrolastic suspension

[999 ORX]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can advice me on how to tell the difference between standard hydrolastic suspension units and cooper s ones?

Cheers chris

For a quick visual check, the section where the hose is attached to (on the rear / top of the unit) is more recessed on all my S type units.
That is, there is more of a "V" in the shape of the rubber.

The normal type have a more flatter look.

I don't know if this is true of all types of hydro units, so I stand corrected if that is the case.

Earlier ones exactly the same for all models including S (standard cars)(and "export"/competition units same for all too)
