Strut top mounts - titch - 18-01-2014 Looking at changing them on my HDI, is it best to change the whole lot, or just the bearings as i have seen you can just buy the bearings? Just wondering what peoples opinion is? Cheers Titch RE: Strut top mounts - Toms306 - 18-01-2014 I'd change the mount at the same time tbh, and have done each time I've replaced them. RE: Strut top mounts - WiNgNuTz - 18-01-2014 As tom says, For the effort involved, i'd change the whole mount. RE: Strut top mounts - titch - 18-01-2014 Nice one, cheers for the quick replies fellas. Any recommendations on what make ones to get, i don't really want to pay Pug prices, but again i don't want to buy cheap ones that won't last. Cheers Titch RE: Strut top mounts - WiNgNuTz - 18-01-2014 We aim to please! Tbh, when i changed mine, i just got second-hand ones off here. RE: Strut top mounts - HDIkyle - 18-01-2014 Skf ones from ECP http://www.eurocarparts.com/mobile/ecp/c/Peugeot_306_1.9_1997/p/car-parts/suspension-and-steering/suspension/suspension-mounting/?669730040&1&8347a21347530b06dcb28dcbc4887fac3807a4bf&000346 Get that lovrrly fresh rubber smell when you open the box haha Come as a pair also btw RE: Strut top mounts - Eeyore - 19-01-2014 (18-01-2014, 11:11 PM)HDIkyle Wrote: Skf ones from ECP http://www.eurocarparts.com/mobile/ecp/c/Peugeot_306_1.9_1997/p/car-parts/suspension-and-steering/suspension/suspension-mounting/?669730040&1&8347a21347530b06dcb28dcbc4887fac3807a4bf&000346 Yep those are the ones I use too. Theyre probably the cheapest decent quality ones. RE: Strut top mounts - Toms306 - 19-01-2014 Yeah, SKF ones here also. RE: Strut top mounts - DazzaHDI - 19-01-2014 I bought motor factor ones and I didn't see anything wrong with them. Can't remember price, less then £40 though. It's also best to do them both at the same time. RE: Strut top mounts - zx_volcane - 19-01-2014 +1 for the ECP SKF kit, great price for the pair incl bearings RE: Strut top mounts - nath86 - 20-01-2014 If your asking for everyone's opinion i changed the whole lot on mine but in reality i could of got away with just changing the bearings, if i had to do it again i would save myself £25 or so and change just the bearing as my bearing was absolutely shot (rusted and ball bearings falling out when took apart) they are easy to pop out the mount RE: Strut top mounts - HDIkyle - 23-01-2014 I had to change the mount as the bolt holes to hold to the chassis were gone RE: Strut top mounts - Niall - 23-01-2014 Another vote for SKF ones! Only thing to be careful of is the threads are quite soft so don't cross thread them! RE: Strut top mounts - titch - 23-01-2014 (23-01-2014, 08:34 PM)Niall Wrote: Another vote for SKF ones!
