Suspension Top Mounts nackered

[triggby]

Hey All,

Had my MOT today and they picked up that my front shock strut bushes are nackered. I've got adjustable koni coilovers on it. I presume I can't just get standard ones. would i have to get them from Koni are are there aftermarket ones i could use??

I presume in fitting them i would need some kind of spring compressor?? any other tips appreciated!!!

thanks

Don't coilovers usually come without topmounts? I.e you use your original ones in conjunction with the coilovers. You should be able to get them straight from a dealer

to be honest i'm not entirely sure. I'm just going by what the guy in the garage said. any way of checking?!?!?

Is it top mounts you want?

Just buy some normal ones I expect thats whats on there now?

should just be able to get normal top mounts, they're around £20 odd from the dealers

ok, done a bit of research on this. when people say top mounts are they referring to the bits of rubber that sit on top of the shock and underneathe the chassis of the car?

is there any way to chaneg these without a spring compressor?
