how do u know if top mounts are dead?

[Danith]

as above! what are the tell tale signs that my top mounts are dead?

 

[Fred@BTM]

steering would be crap and the car wouldn't be sitting level at the front (possibly)

 

[Danith]

ah good old fred. u the man.

 

[Jesske]

Maybe that's why my steering is crap

 

[benji&eka]

take 'em off and inspect them otherwise your just guessing

 

[Jesske]

But I don't know were they are If you can explain it in Dutch maybe.

So please, where are they

When you say top mounts are dead, please be a little more specific...

 

[C.slicker]

If you look at the shock they are at the very top. They are the rubber washers.

I have H&R coilovers fitted since a few months, so maybe they are changed if they were in the package?

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope, standard renault top mounts are used with all aftermarket suspension

its the bearings that fail

Will this be a correct fit for a 182? Could only find the 172 chassis code

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah they're the same

 

[Jesske]

and that's inclusive bearings what you see on that picture?

wow thanks. Where did you find that program? I had a copy, but won't work on my pc. Something wrong with Java and Quicktime version

 

[davebem]

Its a pain to setup, I found it doesnt work with xp. I have it on an old compaq laptop that has windows ME, you have to have certain versions of java and quicktime which are included on the cds for it to work.
