Top Mounts
« on: September 10, 2011, 11:04:25 am »
Has anyone found an alternative to the existing top mount setup? Preferably something that bolts in to place(without going down the solid route).

there are salzmann top mounts. i think they allow to adjust camber also.

if you're looking for something different check yoof turbo's topic and check his mod..

They're pretty impressive, but far too hard for road use, as are the Salzmann's. I was thinking of a modded existing top mount that might bolt in.

Do you want something that gives camber adjustment, or just replaces the crap stock one?

Well, that's gone round in a circle, lol. Just something better located than the sock one Pete. I find they tend to go slack in the turret quite quickly. No Bonrath poly ones available now either.

I had Bonrath topmounts on a previous Daily Driver.. The bearings was wrecked after 1 year....  :o
So I hope there are better alternatives...

I have a set of both, from a car I broke, but my fronts are camber adjustable.  They are in a box  in the shed somewhere
