Top mounts advise
Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2018 8:44 pm
As winter is fast approaching i thought id do some maintenance as i know the top mounts need doing so...
I received one new top mount (still awaiting the other) from VW heritage... the thing is you can hold the shell in one hand and with your finger through the bearings you can move the bearings up/ down, left/ right, almost seems like the bearing housing is not fitted correctly to the shell of the top mount...seeing as i have never done this job before, am i right in saying the bearings should not move atall, and be solid. Its a Brand new febi bilstein kit, and i was told these are usually good!
