My question is can these be changed without the need for removing the strut from the car.

Just changing the struts on mine and one of the top mounts was seized solid onto the old strut.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think I have tracked down my steering squeak to the near side top mount and bearing area. Sprayed in some lube and now only have a slight click when rocking the steering wheel. My question is can these be changed without the need for removing the strut from the car. I have H&R springs so the springs are shorter? is there sufficient clearance to replace the parts once the damper rod nut is released etc anyone done it this way?

POST 2Original post

Chris at CG replaced the bumpstops and lubed up my top mounts last year, all done without removing the struts so yes I believe it's possible...

POST 3Original post

Just changing the struts on mine and one of the top mounts was seized solid onto the old strut. Last off 2010. You'll probably be fine. Fitted new Sachs top mounts from Autodoc - 1/2 the price of UK sourced mounts. Ian

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Did you change the bearing as well as the mounts? Or do they strip apart for a clean and regrease?

POST 5Original post

Just cleaned and regreased - really smooth still. The bearing sits in a metal collar, one of which was really rusty and swollen so I replaced it. Bearings dead easy to take apart and pretty obvious how they go back together. Ian

POST 6Original post

I did mine the other week - I compressed the spring in situ and then replaced the top mount and the bearing. Have read others had good luck re-greasing theirs, however I didnt want to have to do the whole job again, if it turned out my bearings were beyond repair, so did them whilst I was there.

POST 8Original post

I was going to weld up a platform to mount the spring compressors, but this quick-fix worked a treat......its great stuff!
