Elongated top mount holes
- Thread starter daddycool

Nope.. looks scarily like someone might have tried to add camber and castor by elongating the hole!

I don't like the look of that at all.

Somebody has had a go at that with a file thinking they were being clever.
it was an offical renault fix at one stage!
^^ Dear god! What for?
As said - I'd buy some top mounts that bolt through the strut top so they can't move around - like the K-Tec or Pure motorsport ones

this. Bit of an extreme example though. I've trimmed a few, but only by a couple of mm just to stop the cup touching
The edges of the hole shouldn't make contact with the top cup anyway, it's the rubber mount underneath that locates the strut. will make little or no difference the hole being like that
What's the actual point in the top part then? Just to stop the strut from falling out when you jack it up?

I've just ordered there full kit - with the matching strut brace

shouldn't do, should be a big improvement. Did you use the updated parts? I had an issue with those recently

apparently this is normal, if a little undesirable.
still doesn't explain why me handling is pap.

172
same problem on my 172 going for top mounts but for the mean time the welders coming out any idea of the hole size 45mm sound about right only my drivers side has worn other sides dented a little like its been hit with something from below/strut ,i put a set of refurbished shocks on her but never even noticed the holes ,until now as i've gone through the list bushes ,balljoints,bearings,track rods-tracking ,the better it got it also had a hard to explain flutter on drivers side as if the geometry changed and the wheel steps over.only just found out this said head scratcher.
