I am going to put new struts on the front of my 1999 s80 T6, Just wanted to know everything I should replace. I am also doing the sway bar links. For the struts should I get the Front Strut Mount Upper Bushing Cushion and the Front Strut Mounts? Thanks

 

Get and replace the Upper spring seat.
The Bearing rarely go bad but it does.

 

Not this one?




But this one should be replaced?

 

Do the Top Rubber one.

The bottom one Rarely goes bad.

But it is kind of a pain if you get a knocking after you are done it would be that if everything else is new.

But in the last 6 years I have only ever replaced maybe 2 or 3 of them.

 

OK so I replaced the struts, the rubber mounts and the sway bar links but the suspension is even more noisy now. its clicks and rattles and makes even more noise. So what do you think. Should I just do the top mounts or is there something I maybe missing like sway bar bushings or something? The top mount on the struts did spin, are they suppose to? Also they seemed to be kinda con caved in, the ones in the pics look flat. any help is awesome thanks!

 

Do you mean they spun after all is installed or before?

Are you sure you have everything back in the Same order?

Damn I wish I lived closer to listen to it.

 

it seems to click and clatter at low speeds. On the freeway it dosent make much noise. It was making the noise before I did the install thats why I did it thinking this would fix it.

The top mount looked kinda con caved but in the pic it look flat. when I took out the struts and all the top mount spun, is it a bearing or a fixed mount?

I looked at the sway bar bushing and they seems to look good. Grrrrrrrrrrr

 

The metal picture above with the studs is a Bearing setup.

Are you sure it is out of the Front and not the Rear?

 

for sure out of the front. no questions

 

Ok just checking Because I have seen a Ton of rear sway bar links go bad Lately.
