Top Mounts...

[EssexIbiza1985]

My top mounts do not sit flush with the body of the car unless it is jacked up and the weight of the wheels pull the strut down and hence top mounts into their holes. Is this right?

I would have thought there shouldn't be a gap between the top of the wheel arch and the bottom side of the top mounts but I am not a mechanic... Anyone shed some light or check their front top mounts to see if they are the same?

Mine don't either. Mine also turn when i turn the wheels

Im pretty sure thats okay, had them done on a golf a couple of years ago and im sure they sat that way. I think you only have to worry if they make a bump noise over er...bumps.

Mine sit exactly the same on my 1.4 and mine are pretty worn. Thats the next job I've got to do on the Ibiza.
