Strut Mount Recommendation

Hey Guys,

Ever so slowly working through getting my VR on the road and recently had a pre-roadworthy inspection done which actually came back pretty good.

There are 2 things that stick out:

1. Front Draft Shaft Boot - Anyone got any ideas on how much I'd be looking at for this? Not going to do this myself.

2. Front Upper Strut Mounts - I'll be doing these myself, does anyone have any recommendations for which ones? From what I've found, not a lot can be sourced from Australia, so I think the UK will be my best bet.

10 points for any links provided.

Cheers!

Oem/ hd oem are the go. Powerflex ones etc are just an unnecessary expense

I was just quoted $59 each without bearings from VW :S Powerflex are $39 for a set from ECS

Done a shipping quote from ecs?

If buying from them get the hd oem spec ones

Yea... $60 haha! Got a random set from the UK express delivery for $70. I'll be doing a whole refresh once I get my coils so these will do for now

hey there, looking to replace the top mounts while installing new coilovers as well.

Did you get the bearings and the top mount?

Is it necessary to get both?

thanks

Yes do it all

Not necessary, but be mad not too

Ah ok thanks for the recommendation.

i posted a wtb for these and was recommended these heavy duty meyle strut tops for $25.30 ea Heavy Duty Upper Strut Mount - Priced Each - Euro Revolution

however they don't include the bearings, any recommendations for these?

or should i just get: 2 Front Suspension TOP Strut Mounts Bearings Pair FOR VW Golf MK3 1991 2002 | eBay

hi all,

i'm still waiting for my coilovers to arrive, but just want to see where i should get the top mount and bearings and is it best to go oem?

Thanks
