Hi,
Replaced front struts (blown Koni adjustables out, and the freshies in) over the weekend and found there to be excessive play in the strut mount bearing, especially on the passenger side. With the top nut secure and the whole strut assembly out, I could wobble the strut mount 1/4 to 1/2". Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think this is supposed to happen.
Is it possible to press out and install new bearings? It looks at least feasible if I know the bearing size. The rubber seems to be in good shape, (guess I don't know for sure) not cracked or torn from visual inspection. Or do I drop ANOTHER $500 on new mounts both sides.
Yay iX :drink: Anyone with upper mount experiences/thoughts?
All I want to do is blast around in the snow...
