E36 top strut mount

Recommended Posts

The Konis have just arrived so I've stripped off the old struts.

The top mount bearings don't have any side to side movement., and they spin OK, but they do rock about 2mm. Is this normal, or do I need new bearings?

The rubber looks perfect, no cracks.

Thanks!

Just checked my OE mounts which were replaced with M3 ones- they do not "rock" - came out of thecar at 70,000 km - make me an offer if you want them

Thanks for looking! Mine don't rock off the strut either - it's only when they are mounted to the strut that they move. I've refitted the mounts with the new Koni struts and springs and they seem OK - I'd just like to try a new one....

PS boy do the Konis improve turn in and grip.....

Still waiting for the rear shock mounts to arrive from BMW Auckland. I'm using E46 M3 parts, not bothered about the Z3 strengthening plates at the moment as they are ex-Germany.
