2_Door_fun 0 Posted January 26, 2006 So is that it...Spin the top nut off and clunk the whole leg drops out :shock: The leg dropped and then I spun off with my fingers?? The tube nut. Removed the mount and sat there in amazement.. Is that all that holds it all and your rubber on the floor?? Should my strut have been rotating freeley in the turret? How do you know when the tube nut is up to torque? Mine just spun off... I have mounts with the bearings built in. Sorry I'm used to ford n SAAB mounts that have big bearings 3 items and bolts holding em in the turret.. Whilst its all up on jacks I may as well replace what i can. VR6 seems the pop route to go. Anybody got a diagram of how the 2 mounts differ, how they fit together. As read in posts must remember the top plates or a trip to the scrappers...

2_Door_fun 0 Posted January 27, 2006 Actually as a matter of interest... No I did'nt!! I have em but not with me. Done lots on lots of cars. The top spring cup was resting against the threads so it locked its self down. So the nut just spun off. The C is my first so its having alot of TLC whilst I run my 900 turbo (SAAB) It just seemed such a weird setup very little to it all. I had to spin of the tube nut to lift off the top mount. The car is lowered but on what I belive are standard shoxs (KYB) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
