Front Suspension Strut Top Mount Recommendations?
Anyone replaced their top mounts (bearing top mount and spring seat / rubber part)?
Looking for recommendations of make and or supplier. I know Volvo do the best lower arms but is there a good alternative for these parts? Thanks in advance |

Having read other posts where non-Volvo parts fail prematurely, and where the owner then went back to genuine Volvo parts, I would recommend you use genuine Volvo parts for the strut top mount.
Unless you like doing the job twice and spending more money then you need to....

I have changed mine. Use Volvo. Some say Lemforder is good but it's not sold in my area
See this post for some pics of the Meyle part I used https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=273033

Thanks for replies, I used Febi Bilstein which I’m happy with (the bearing is INA which I believe is the same as Volvo OE). I also replaced lower arms (Volvo OE), Lower ball joints (Meyle HD) and the steering rack (Volvo OE).
