Vento front strut upper mounts

[philmar]

I'e got a 98 Vento with the AGG engine. Last year it passed its MOT but the tester advised replacing the Front upper strut mounts. My local VW dealer has quoted me about £24 each just for the rubbers, but you can buy them for a lot less on e-bay and local motor factors and the bearings are usually included. Is it best to fit genuine and is it necessary to replace the bearings ? Thanks!.

Try AVS car parts, they sell Febi mounts which are OE quality, less than half the price, and include bearings.

Is it lowered?

I stick to genuine.

Be hearing same question in 4 months

If its lowered make that 2 months.

Why do you say that? Febi is Bilstein and every time I've used  their top mounts they have been fantastic quality.

[Gavv8]

I agree but low cars tend to be quite hard on the top mounts.

OEM is quality, I dont think I have a single part on my car that is not.
