Shock Absorber top..

Frankiedev · 19th February 2009, 14:10

I have purchased a 2004 Rover 75 connoisseur SE CDTI with 105,000 miles and when i turn the steering i hear a "soft click" which i have traced to the top of the front shock absorbers (Both sides). Is there a bearing or some other part something which needs replacing there?. If there is would anyone have the part number and where i can order them.

I

got two mounting suspension struts from Rimmers (RNX100080) and had them replaced by a mechanic locally. It solved the problem fully.
Thank you for all your help.
