Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted October 28, 2008 Bit OT but what does replacing the tophats achieve? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted October 28, 2008 Couple of things can wear out which affect your suspension geometry, feedback, ride quality, and thus overall handling. The bearings wear out, and the rubbers do to. I havn't had a wheel alignment since I put mine in last week, but I'm expecting it to be better than I've been able to get in the past. The old ones had sagged a good 10mm from un-installed new ones, which probably relates to 5mm one the new ones settle. I wouldn't go out and replace them just for fun, but if like me, you were replacing all of the suspension bushes, and shocks aswell, it seemed silly not to do them aswell. Think of them as another rubber bush that should occasionally be replaced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
