Suspension top mounts
« on: Aug 8, 2005, 04:51PM »
I expect that a lot of you will be starting to have this problem, but my suspension top mounts (ie. the rubber part you can see at the top of the strut tower) is starting to look pretty d*mn worn out. Cracks all through  I've rang about 10 different places for pricing and noone seems to even stock them.

I haven't been able to find any replacement parts made by Monroe, Gabriel, Whiteline, Super Pro, Polytuff or any others.

Nissan want an unbelievable $200 a pop for them!!

Anybody replaced these? If so were you able to get aftermarket parts?

Finally found some cheaper ones - Pedders have them - part number 5872.

They're $68.99 each. (As opposed to $200 each from Nissan). So a big saving there - whether they'll last as well as the genuine units remains to be seen.
