    Rattly top mount

    Long time no see guys

    So the C70 was advised on a nearside top mount at mot time last year before i bought her but now its rattling about which is annoying.
    The question is which part needs replacing ? the rubber on top of the spring or the bearing top mount ?
    Any info as usual will be greatly appreciated
    Cheers guys

    Without looking that would be hard to diagnose mate. Going off past experience its usually a bearing in a rubber mount & what you can see is the capping on top.
