Default top strut mount

hi chaps ,


hope ye are all well and love from Ireland as always ....


i need to change top strut mount on my 75 as it is making lots of noise over potholes and recking my head .


were does the top of the spring connect to the mount ?
does it sit on the metal part containg the ballbarings ?
or does the top of the spring curl around it ?
just afraid i will mess it up cos my 75 now my only car .


kind regards
rob

The spring has a rubber isolator sat on top of it (donut shaped) which in turn sits against the strut top mount bearing.

You can change the whole mount (if the mount is rusty etc) or just the bearing itself.
We have the full mount here: https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...g-zt-rnx100080
Or the bearings (a pair) here: https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/products/rov...-rnr100090-oem

Good luck!

If you're going to take something apart it's a good idea to take a picture of it first.---
