Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated.

Question... Do I need to replace the strut mounts, or can I just replace the bearings? I assume its the bearing that causes trouble, not the actual mount???

For reference, this is the part I mean (strut mount);

Do I need this? ^

Or can I just replace the bearing on its own? Link for reference;

Or do I need both, the strut mounts and bearings?

With regards to the control arms, I know cheshired5 (member on here) used Meyle parts on his suspension and he seemed happy with them. I've noticed there's two options from Meyle for control arms... I assume one is just a "normal" control arm and one is heavy duty? Do I really need the heavy duty ones?
