#1: Strut Top Author: Jasoon, Posted: Tue Mar 12, 2013 1:34 pm ---- This might seem like a stupid question but should the strut top bearing be visible with the car jacked up??
Had the car jacked up to change the drop link and when i had a look at the strut top from the inside i could see some of the strut top bearing...
#2: Re: Strut Top Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:13 pm ---- Shouldn't be able to see any bearing because the top mount holds it tight in the turret.
#3: Re: Strut Top Author: Jasoon, Posted: Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:26 pm ---- Thanks for the quick reply Edward
Didnt think i should have been able to see it....
Hopefuly that will explain the wired handling that ive been experiancing...
#4: Re: Strut Top Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Mar 12, 2013 3:07 pm ---- Should be like this. The spring tension should hold the bearing against the top mount.
#5: Re: Strut Top Author: Jasoon, Posted: Tue Mar 12, 2013 3:31 pm ---- i can see the bearing where thru the hole in the part the spring sits against as if its out of line
#6: Re: Strut Top Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Tue Mar 12, 2013 11:45 pm ---- You got lowered springs? Sounds like the springs aren't the right overall length for the strut and thus move out of line when not on the deck...
Ed - tell me you gave that Billy a lick of paint before re-fitting?
#7: Re: Strut Top Author: Jasoon, Posted: Wed Mar 13, 2013 1:33 am ---- I haven't got the car lowerd

Naah. I bought new ones!

Ed - like your thinking... and you are now the official 206info loan officer
#10: Re: Strut Top Author: Jasoon, Posted: Wed Mar 13, 2013 9:45 am ---- Looks like the bearings collapsed
#11: Re: Strut Top Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Wed Mar 13, 2013 10:27 am ---- F**king potholes.
Honestly - why do we pay good money for tax people!
#12: Re: Strut Top Author: Jasoon, Posted: Wed Mar 13, 2013 10:30 am ---- I know it's crap in Cumbria pot holes everywhere wouldn't mind trying to claim for it
#13: Re: Strut Top Author: Jasoon, Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2013 2:25 pm ---- Well got the problem sorted ended up replacing that top mount and the bottom arm....
