I've got coilovers in my mk3, my mate has just said that I don't need rear top mounts as golf mk3's Dnt have them.
I don't know what he means lol

Yep they do have rear top mounts and they are worth replacing a the same time as fitting the shocks.

Il confirm it too. :grin:

Ive just changed mine when fitting my coilovers so i hope they exist
-
Yes defo has them and should be replaced when fitting your coil overs coz the old ones will soon start knocking
-
there not top mounts like the fronts, they are just a small rubber cone/ring and for the few ££ cost I always replace them
I would say they are a actually bush and not a mount :whistle:

Disagree
Bushes are in a metal casings and sometimes have metal sleeves inside them to prevent the rubber from getting squashed and breaking.
Rubber bushes and rubber mounts do the same job but that is the difference between them

what about an an anti roll bar bush which is just a rubber with a clamp round it...ok so the a.r.b goes through but the rear top bush sits into the body and the shock goes through it (same principle to me) :huh:

As you pointed out, the anti roll bar bush is encased in a metal support.
Top mount has the chassis sitting on it and not encased at all. Same as engine mounts.
