Just had my struts replaced but the mechanic did not change the strut mounts. The front passenger upper strut mounts failed on me in the middle of the desert. Had to go to a local desert mechanic and he is having trouble ordering the final pieces. I ordered new strut mounts, bushings, and bearings but I need to replace the strut mount washer, fitting, lock, and cap ... It's the rubber washer and etc that is on the very top before the final nut. Already spent too much $$$. Where can I order this online/phone?!?? HELP!!! Need to get back on the road. Much appreciated in advance ....

I don't think there are too many parts, you can't get back on the road with the stuff you had already on there? That 4-spoke nut holds it all together.

 

Unfortunately no. The washer broke off when I was on some dirt road. I could not see the part of the strut sticking out on top! Essentially the tire was attached only on the bottom! And it seems the mechanic DID NOT use a proper nut when he replaced my strut!

 

I looked at the link and I don't see the washer piece. I already ordered the bushing. I need the rubber washer and goes on top of the strut bearing before you screw the last bolt on. It looks like a o-ring gasket but has 'Volvo' on it.

 

Yeah, I know what your talking about, let me do some looking around our shop and I will let you know what I find.

 

Thanks for looking. Got to love the good samaritans on this board. You're a life saver!!

 

You need number 2?

 

1, 2, 3, and 23.

 

ok...

 

Is part 23 necessary?

 

Not really.

 

What do I need to get to get back on the road? There will be dirt road driving so nothing mcguyver.
