Front strut top bearing

[cliffk]

I need to change the top strut bearings on my 03 406 hdi estate, it looks like there are 2 options of parts one kit contains the bearings plus what looks like rubber mountings and the other kit just contains the bearings and is half the price.

When I did the same job on my wifes 206 the only parts choice was the bearings.

Do I need to buy the mountings as well?

got mine from euro car parts, was just over £20.00 with 30% off, had it fitted yesterday, no more grinding as im turning, the bearing was rusted & dry as a bone,

Got mine fro Euro car parts too best price locally again just over £20 had them fitted this morning big improvement, mine wasnt grinding it was just very difficult to turn the wheel.
So 1 job off the list.

Well done gentlemen. I'm thinking that's a few potential broken springs avoided too.

update......... been hearing the same clonking again from the same side, turns out my bearings fu..ed again, i originally got a sasic top bearing but this time im going for an skf one, its under warrenty from euro car parts so il have to go through the refund procedure, just need to get it fitted when it arrives, should of bought the better one 1st time round, lesson learned. cheers lee
