Which top-mount bearings? - Pipps - 27-02-2013
Can anyone recommend a pair of top-mount bearings for me please?
Mine need replacing as the offside is creaking heavily when steering is on full-lock.
What is the most budget-conscious approach to take with these?
Any real reason to spend more than the minimum?
Thanks

GSF...great price and quality...just got mine from them...

Thans for the recommendation.
I am looking at the GSF parts available, and they seem to have two have identical specs:
Part numbers: 457PC0340 and 457PC0051
Which did you go for?
Any other parts needed?

Lemforder ones come recommended, what I have on mine

SKF ones are about £50 for the set from ECP. Less with the club discount

I got SKF ones from GSF...but via ebay...

That's an amazing price!
Are they any good?
RE: Which top-mount bearings? - Piggy - 27-02-2013
They are SKF...not fitted them yet
Can only assume GSF doing a stock clearance
RE: Which top-mount bearings? - Pipps - 27-02-2013
Are they the same as these, as recommended at post #34 here?
Did you buy new top mount bearings at the same time too?
RE: Which top-mount bearings? - Niall - 27-02-2013
the kit you have linked is the mounts and bearings. The one piggy has put up is just the bearings.
RE: Which top-mount bearings? - Pipps - 27-02-2013
I am getting lots of creaking from the offside-front when on full lock, after fitting new coilovers and running them at a 75mm drop.
Should I replace the mounts and the bearings, or just the bearings?
RE: Which top-mount bearings? - Curt - 27-02-2013
Just replace the whole lot, they're cheap enough. Mine were new when I fitted my coilovers so I ruled mine out
RE: Which top-mount bearings? - Pipps - 27-02-2013
Which kit did you go for, Curt?
RE: Which top-mount bearings? - Curt - 27-02-2013
Lemforder ones from my local Camberleys
