Can' someone just confirm that i've got this correct about how the dampers are usually atached to the car (with a plate carbon mount).

The bottom is a ball stud that screws into the wishbone.

The top has some kind of ball arangement that fits into the "V Part Cup" that somes through the cap, Is this bal then threaded and hence screwed from the other side of the mount?? Roughly how far away from the mount is the plastic ball joint??

If i've got this right, can someone give me the part number of the "threaded ball" that screws to the mount.

Hope that makes sense!!
