Default New Upper Shock Mount needed

Hi,

In another thread I posted it turns out that my shock (Koni SA) was mounted incorrectly... so I need to fix that. I think it is best if I replace my upper shock mount at the same time. I have 2 questions on the upper shock mount:

1) In the attached diagram, what are part number's 51, 52 and 54?

2) Part number 53 (Upper Mount)... the price I was quoted is LH £209+ tax, RH £203+ tax = £483, which is $955 US.... where would you get these from in the US?


Thanks,
UKCamaroSS

51 is the washer that sits on top of the dust cap, 52 I dont know, never saw it on mine, 54 is the rubber isolater that sits on the top of the mount.

$955 for the top mount!!!! that is robbery, call the gestapo. It is nothing more than a piece of steel with a bearing in it. You can get them from places in the US like NAPA and the dealer and I think even the dealer in the USA is under $100 for them.

Is your ruined? If it is not broken dont replace it.
