Alright guys, I need to change my top mount bearing, went on ECP and ordered the following part...
CLICKY!
But it looks like just the top mount without the bearing :/ can someone clarify and point me in the direction of getting a bearing? I need front O/S, car is a 2004 1.4 8v.
Cheers
Austin

Also, use carpart4less.com
Same website, slightly cheaper, unless you can get any promo codes.

Why not just buy the hole top mount? They are only like £30-£35, I had both mine done end of last year, its always worth doing this sort of thing in pairs as you know they are both good, rather than do one then do the outher when that goes.

Have you ever changed your front suspension before? If so its the same steps just get the strus off then you change them then its quite simple if you have spring compressors and the correct spanners/sockets. A garage should be able to both in under 1hr
