Need a pair of top mount bearing for front suspension (corsa c), just wondering if they are expensive and how dangerous is it to drive if one side has gone!
Thanks

OMFG! £102!!!!

Go to a good scrappers you should be able to get an entire strut leg off a C for at least half that... Its unbelievable!

Oh and anyone who knows are the C's topmounts similar to the B's as on the B its a metal roller bearing in the metal top spring seat and just has a rubber damper/bush which I cant see how you could really damage from over tightening unless it was like 500Nm from a breakers bar...

FK recommend changing top mounts on all their suspension kits, regardless of vehicle if the existing mounts have had over 40,000 miles of abuse.
