Hi all, I've purchased all new genuine parts for my 172 suspension refresh. There is IMO a lot of play in the new top mount, I mocked up with the old top hat and nut and it is the same as with the new modified combined spacer/nut.
The 2nd related problem is the gap between upper and lower rubber mounts is about 4mm so the mounts won't grip the strut top bodywork.
Considering machining off the bottom of the combined spacer/nut about 3mm which might solve both issues - any suggestions??
