Hi, I had these replaced on the 75 today as well as aux belt, hydramount and yet another front droplink. I supplied parts for the mechanic except droplink.

The mechanic said to me he would have replaced the spring isolator as well, so thats some advice for others out there if doing same job (item 8 rimmers).

The Hydramount replacement has been positive, engine vibration much less especially on switching off and less vibration through steering wheel when driving.

Steering is now quiet, no creaking noises. Car generally feels more new.:}

One other thing was the original strut bearings looks a more substantial design than the ones I bought from DMGRS.
