Alastair 0 Posted May 17, 2004 I've had imprecise handling and uneven front tyre wear for the past few months. I jacked up the front end and found that the strut top mount dropped a 1/2 inch or so and moved around, but seated back OK when the weight was on it. Is this normal? I'd have thought it should be fixed. TIA Ali. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will 0 Posted May 18, 2004 Yep that's normal. When you take the weight off the front wheels there's a fair bit of movement. New top mounts won't hurt though if they haven't been changed before.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted May 18, 2004 yep, normal, but the f*cker MOT tester still failed my derby for it....tw4t..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alastair 0 Posted May 18, 2004 Don't think they've been changed. It got 100k miles on clock, so I reckon they've had a good life. Is it straight forward to replace them? Anyone got a link to a procedure anywhere? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
