Strut top bearing



  monaco 172
Hi guys.

I need some new top strut bearings, mounts are fine but the bearings are grating badly.

Will the ones from Euro car parts fit? As I know these things can be a bugger with some non genuine parts.

if the rubbers are fine then just clean the crap out of the bearings and grease them.
I gave that a go. Blasted them out for ages and they still feel gritty as hell as though the bearings have flat spots on them.
Unless I didn't clean them well enough lol.

possibly knackered. chuck them in some paraffin and see if that cleans them out, works half the time and can save buying top mounts if you only need bearings.

Cool will try and clean them again.

I take it the bearings from euros won't fit?

I got ECP bearings as spares as they only cost a few quid. I used them when I had a problem with my solid top mounts - they fitted fine and have performed well so far, however, I've only used them for one track day.

should fit fine, just didn't know they were available on their own, if they re then might as well change them rather than try and clean them out.

Ah right.

Yeh they list 2, the most expensive of the 2 been 12 quid a pair with weekend discount so worth a try. If they don't fit I'll take em back an have another go at cleaning
