lottysvdub 0 Posted January 7, 2006 hi guys i need your help again !! . ive got a 2ltr 16v rado which i havent owend very long , the problem i have is when the vehical is jacked up there is about 2inchs of movement in the top mount of the strut , the car has koni adjustsble struts and uprated springs , ive got two new top mounts but im not sure if they are going to fit the struts . ive not had a chance to drop the struts out yet but when you look up to the top of the strut it looks like there no top mount fitted or if there is it looks completely different to the new ones , if any one can help it would be appreciated as i really would like to stop the stuts moving as me wheels are rubbing on the inner arches on full lock and it makes your head hurt if you drive over anything bigger than a slippery slug . thanks guys and gals :iamwithstupid: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 7, 2006 Hmmm... need a pic really... Sounds like the TM's are knackered tho (probably not changed with the suspension when fitted) - they may look different as the top plate that you can see under the bonnet is not part of the mount, you swap that over...

lottysvdub 0 Posted January 7, 2006 i will try to strip them out tomorrow and take a picture of the strut , im not sure how long this suspension has been on the car ,it looks pritty old and to be honest i think later this year i will replace it all again when the moneys avilable from the bank of no funds known as my wife !!!! , it would be good if anyone could help me out with a exploded picture of the strut assembly so i could see how the components are put together , im a little concered that the previous owner may have worked for john wayne autos and may have left some thing out as the amount of play is about the same as the hight of the top mounts that i have . cheers guys i really appreciate your help. :notworthy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted January 8, 2006 Thats from ETKA, the VW parts system... Search for the Bentley manual on http://www.amazon.ca - it's US so only covers the G60 and 2.8 VR6 but it's the only real Corrado manual out there.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
