i just bought new struts for the 91 RS maro. but im second guessing now.

there is a rattle in the suspension and i think it is the bushing at the top of the strut. so i need that new but it seems you can only get the whole strut mount system? anyone have purchasing info: where, what?

the struts are original so im assuming they could use a swap out anyway ride is a lil bumpy. Any input is much obliged.

 

could also be sway bar end link bushings. once the rubber piece falls apart the washer rattles quite a bit.

I always thought those are bearings up there.At least thats what they look like on my car.

 

bearings strut bushings its all the same thing i think. either way what should i buy for up top (accurate product descriptions are rare)?

 

SpohnPerformance(link on top of the page),sells OEM and aftermarket strut caps

Apperantly there are 2 different types(early/late)...best option is to do a search

 

thanks for the link. the more i look at this stuff the more i realize i dont know much about the suspension. perhaps there is a diagram w/ descriptions that someone knows of.

additionally im thinking now that i need to replace more than just struts and bearings. prob all bushings need a swap out. maybe the springs? should i do it gradually or all at once? suggestions?

Brock's91RS do i know you?

 

Theres a WHOLE lot more people on this board with a whole lot more experiance than me
but in my opinion,If your gonna replace anything...replace EVERYTHING while its apart...they (Spohn/PST) sell complete kits
