Hey, i recently changed both front shocks on my gf's 206 and noticed the drivers side top mount bearing is knackered ive put it all back together and i can wobble the top mount with my hand from reaching up behind the wheel, Is this something to be "overly" concerned about as my gf needs the car but im un sure whether to let her use it untill the mount is fixed?
please and thank you:)

If it was knackered, why did you put it back together? I would replace it before she drives it, you dont really want it to fail at speed.

If I was changing both front shocks I would have ordered up 2 new top mount bearings, seems stupid putting the old ones back in seeing how cheap new bearings are.
