Hi guys, looking for a bit of help with heavy steering which I thing is caused by the strut tops but I can't see why?
If the strut is off the car and I try to turn the top mount it doesnt rotate on the bearing, it actually moves the whole damper rod!! Now I'm pretty sure this isnt right but if someone has one off the car and they could check I'd much appreciate it.
Stripped them down and checked the bearings and they're all free and greased and no wear or dirt in them. I built them back the same way I stripped them but does anyone know if they are in the correct way/order.....
1 Black top hat with rubber insert
2 gold plate with the 3 studs on
3 strut bearing fitted like a top hat, narrow part facing up
4 larger black spring cup/seat
Any suggestions greatly appreciated
