sounds like your top mounts are shot, can get replacement ones with bearings from gsf for 10-15 notes a side. if your after oem ones that are better quality, the the mk2 g60 ones. or the next step is poly bush ones, little bit more expensive but 10x better than oem ones, just whatever you do, get bearings aswell
