Been fishing today and got some new top strut mounts and bearings and some grease
Just checking if I grease the rubber mount on the top where it will contact the turret?
Also what do the small notches on the spring retainer plate line up with?
Any info greatly received thanks

New mounts fitted all good, creaking noise over bumps now gone, o/s mount bearing fell to bits and both mounts were well worn here are some pics, before and after, of top plate gap and comparison old and new mount.
Went down the road for a test and saw a black Monaro so pulled into layby for a chat, nice guy lives just up the road from me!

The bearing pop apart quite easily, even when new, best to pack the bearing with lots of grease before fitting them, they come with the minimal grease new.

Yes it was very nice to chat to a local Monaro owner so close to where I live! That really is a lovely looking example you have there Jerry - I've got a bit of fettling to do now to get mine up to scratch... biggrin
