MrBen 0 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Buy the top mounts from VW, they last better than the cheapies. About £50 for a pair of both rubber mounts and the bearing units. Quite easy to change yourself as long as you have access to spring compressors. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 the kit is the top mount and bearing rather than just the top mount... as mr ben says gsf ones are rubbish Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 o balls i thought gsf were genuine parts + i dont actually know exactly which bit is knackered and i dont have a spring compressor Link to post Share on other sites
shinobi 0 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 had my konigsports fitted over the weekend and said i wanted new top mounts. the mechanic said the OEM ones are just as good as any other, and they only cost Link to post Share on other sites
