[Mk2] [Turbo] Bilstein Rear Topmount Sheared

Post by slunk »

Whilst changing my springs I've managed to shear the two flats within a rear topmount. Note the shiny slugs in the pic:

These flats basically lock the strut into the topmount and prevent it from turning, without them its near impossible to tighten or loosen the top nut:(
Has anyone else come across this problem? Do I have any options other than to buy a new topmount?
If not, does anyone have good condition one for sale because Toyota are asking for £75 each!

Cheers,
