I think so. I’m pretty sure the knock was there before I replaced them, so I’m hoping it isn’t that. I might order these top mounts and see if that helps at all. If not, then I’ll move on to the engine mounts.

I’m getting an annoying knocking sound when I pull off from stationary. It’s a single knock and sounds/feels like it’s coming from the front right, around the top mount. I’m thinking the issue is the top mount but I wanted to check if anyone had any other ideas? They’ve never seem to sit...

I spoke to Mark Fish earlier today and he’s still got a couple of sets available so I’m going to have one off of him. Really nice guy and seems to know a ton about these cars.

My front spring has snapped and I just wanted to confirm my assumsions are correct before I order a new set. From what I understand I can't get OEM springs as they're no longer manufasctured. The only option I can see is to get them from Mark Fish. Is this still correct? Just wanted to check...

Thanks both for the help. It just looked a little odd with the overhang. Oh and wow that’s a clean car!

Is the trophy suspension considered cup?

Hopefully I'm just being paranoid, but does this abs ring look too big? It looks to be over hanging by a couple of mm but I’m not sure if that’s normal? I measured it and it’s 16mm wide.

Thanks, I'll have a go at burning them out. I just hope all my bashing with a hammer hasn't ruined them :unsure:

Now the wishbone is out I was planning to replace them entirely with new bushes etc. I've read the OSF wishbone has been discontinued so it's either refurb mine or get some aftermarket ones. I was looking at the below. Would these be ok with one of these stiffening plates? Or should I stop being...

Reciprocating saw made easy work of the bolt. Thanks for all the help everyone 👍

Thanks for the replies everyone. Hoping to get a recip saw at the weekend and get this sorted. I've got another quick question that seemed too basic to start a new thread. Can the below be removed for access to the arb? The car is currently on axle stands and I wasn't sure if it's safe to remove...

Thanks. Never used one of these saws before, will the blade that comes with it be suitable or do I need a specific blade?

Unfortunately not. I do have a multi tool so was thinking that might do the job?

Does anyone have any tips for removing these buggers? I’ve tried everything and it just won’t budge. The inner metal of the rubber bush has seized to the bolt from what I can tell. I’m happy to take a grinder to it but I don’t have the access. Would a multi tool do the job?

Thanks. I've got some brake cleaner so I'll give it a good clean and report back when I have a better idea of where it might be leaking from. Hopefully not that many places!
