I may have posted this twice as i couldnt find any record of it

 

[Fred@BTM]

if they don't move then neither will your steering

Lmao I tend to over think things some times cheers

Isn't the bearing ment to move instead or is that just to stop wearing the rubber down sorry for 100 questions

Think of it like this, the bearing has two parts. One that stays still, this is the outer part touching the rubber that sits inside the body. The inner part of the bearing spins, this is what the threaded part of the damper is attached to and the top hat is screwed onto this thread (or held
on with nut on new version where the top hat nut is separate).

Cheers for that so in a nut shell the top mount turns with the steering cheers

I thought the mount was fixed and would move through the bearing lol got there in the end cheers guys
