Hi All,

I have looked online a LOT, but I just can't get the correct part that I need to complete my front air strut replacement.

It is the bushing at the base of the airstrut. I stupidly used a blow torch to loosen the bolt and damages the rubber bushing.

I have attached a photo of the location of the bushing.

Thanks and please help

The bushing is in the control arm, not the strut. If you mnelted the busing, you'll need to replace the whole control arm. It's just three bolts, once you remove the underpan, so not a big job. Plenty of YT videos on the process. If your car has ABC, then it's 1 or 2 more bolts. Either way, aout the same time as the strut replacement. Again, the bushing is in the control arm, this is what it looks like, but this might not be the right part number:
