#2: Re: top mount Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 11:43 am ---- Cheap enough to replace with new tbh, rather than p**sing about attempting to fix.
#3: Re: top mount Author: T_bandery, Location: East londonPosted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 11:43 am ---- Needs to be replaced, they are £13 for the pair from Bridgend motor factors

#9: Re: top mount Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 1:55 pm ---- Just order some top mounts and bearings from Euro Car Parts. They aren't expenisve. I'd also order some new nuts and bolts for the hub to ball joint and hub to damper connections.
#10: Re: top mount Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 2:01 pm ---- hub to ball joint shoul be ok, i only had them off a little while ago to change the wishbones, damper connections??????? i'm guessing we call things different here ????
#11: Re: top mount Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Jan 03, 2011 3:07 am ---- All the nuts are of the nyloc type so should be replaced. Where the damper attaches to the hub there is also a nut and bolt. I'd replace them too.

Nyloc nuts can only safely be used ONCE!
