Should top mounts twist when stationary?

[Battery Nonce]

I'm trying to get to the bottom of my handling issues and noticed the other day that when stationary, the top mounts physically twist when I turn the steering wheel. Not a small amount too, they're moving quite a bit!

Is this normal?

Cheers

I'd say it's normal as they are connected to the struts of which the steering rack is also. I'd be worried if they didn't move.

Maybe top mount bearing? Tracking, leaking shocks, anti roll bar bushes?

Kinda issues you having?

Standard top mounts do move with the steering.

Ahh okay, thanks!

Cheers mate!

I made a thread here about it, quite annoying as I still haven't got to the bottom of it!

Video at the bottom too.

I've ordered some solid top mounts anyway as i've heard great reviews. Another one to knock off the list haha
