Title: Uprated top strut mounts ??
Post by: HJGTI on 30 April 2013, 20:36

I've had my car looked at today and I've got a knock on the front passenger side when go over bumps and he said its ya top strut mounts and said I need some uprated 1's , the car is lowered on coilovers if that makes a diffrence ? What does everyone else use ? Where can I get the uprated 1's from ? I've got the 2.0 gti on a v reg , thanks

Polybush if you want uprated, most people find standard mounts perfectly fine though.

I had the same problem at one point but it was the front ARB bushes that was gone. VW say the standard ones go round the 60.000 mile mark. Might be worth looking into this.

I would say this. You won't really hear top mounts unless your wheel leaves the pad as the weight of the car is always on them.
