I've been able to find four manufacturers/suppliers.
Give me some feedback about these. They are as follows: These are made in Canada and are $195 CDN (US $??). They're inserts which use the stock housing. I've sent several emails to them with no replys. Attached image(s) |

QUOTE With all due respect, I simply don't see how it would be possible to pop the rubber bearing out of a strut mount under any compression load in driving conditions. The car bottomed .. the shock pushed the rubber out of the mount. It was a freak type failure. We found that the stock t-bars. with stiffly valved struts equaled potential disaster.... BTW the rubber isnt bonded to the mount its pressed in... some threaded rod and appropriately sized sockets and you can remove the stock rubber mounts and then install the monoballs.. Kinda wish I took pics of my friends car... To remove rubber bushings you need to use something like this ( if you dont have a press) I know that not a pic of an upper strut mount, but the principles are the same. Attached image(s) |
