Evening.

A quick one if I may. A friend at work has just replaced his rear springs and realised one of the fronts has gone too. Looking under his bonnet and both strut tops look like this... looks wrong to me. Is it possible/likely the rubber bush under the mount has perished? Thing is another Ka in the office is exactly the same and she's just been through an MOT.

Cheers, Luke.

It does look daft, but on those that is perfectly normal.

Thanks. Just wanted to let him know if he needed to have a set of the bushes to hand when he does the springs that's all.

That's normal. It is knocking then it may be worth changing the top mounts but even when new they have some space in that area.

Oh, and changing the rear springs on those is a piece of cake assuming everything comes undone smile.
