marky_boy 1 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 when manoeuvring i get clunking/creaking from the top of my passenger side strut. do i need a new top mount or greeseing up? Link to post Share on other sites
Madrocker 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 is this on full lock, while moving the steering or moving?It could be you're top mount bearing or ball joints on the hub, or any or the bushes tbh. You're best bet it to jack you're car up, get a pry bar and go over all of the bushes and joints to see what has a lot of movement. Link to post Share on other sites
marky_boy 1 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 its when stationary or very slowly moving, its deffo from the top of the strut not hub. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Check your top mount or top mount bearing... Link to post Share on other sites
Madrocker 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 its when stationary or very slowly moving' date=' its deffo from the top of the strut not hub.[/quote']Ok, I get you now. like I said jack it up to get that wheel of the ground and see how much movement is there, You may need to take the wheel off for a better view and easyer access.I do not think that they are a serviceable part so new ones will be in order at around £40 something like thisHope that helpsCheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites
marky_boy 1 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 yep pretty much what i thought. is their a beefier version i can use as they'll get a hard time with stiff suspension and harsh driving ( a few track days etc) Link to post Share on other sites
Madrocker 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Motorsport do some uprated ones but they are expencive and I would think they are a little to solid for road use.Clicky Link to post Share on other sites
