I decided yesterday to get round to replacing my rear strut mounts.
If you are getting any crashing thump noises when going over potholes or speed bumps then it would be worth checking these.
New mounts were £13 + VAT from Euro car parts and £20 to fit taking about 20 minutes or so. Seemed easy enough home job if youve got the right tools.
Anyway, what a difference, now the whole of the rear of the car seems to be connected to the body and not like its just coming along for the ride. Its nice and quiet and feels alot more rigid than before.
Saying that though both mounts had completely snapped in half and one of the metal cups had also cracked and broken off completely and i found it just sat ontop of the floor near where its supposed to be! Pretty fair to say it was broken.
