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

Here is the link to hours of Barts hard work!

also look at page 41 in john parnells book if you have it also tells you what coulour the bands are and the ride heights are and pressures

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.

Thanks very much guys! All the info is great!

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