new top mount kit

01-11-2015, 14:04:22

As above, I'm installing a complete new kit.

Question is, the new donut is much larger than the originals, am I right in thinking it will all squish back together once its all bolted up and the weight of the car is on it?.

Also, would you put any grease around the cup, or is it better left dry?.

I had a power flex one fitted years ago but a garage did it for me with the new Bilstein suspension.

It should all squish back down yes, and I'd smear a bit of copper slip on the new top mount before assembly
