strut mount part
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 5:16 PM
i asked this in the suspension forum but didnt really get any answers. the plastic piece that sits on top of the front strut spring insulator i think its called the upper spring seat or perch, well while my suspension setup was apart both of those pieces were backed over, andi went to gm to order new ones and they told me the part was discontinued, so my j is imobilized right now. does the 2000+ mounts have that perch/ seat included? cause i know a guy i can get some from really cheap. any help would be cool.

are you talking about the rubber pieces that go on the bottom and top of the springs or what. Because it should strut,rubber isolator,spring,another rubber isolator then mount. Both style mounts have those rubber things i believe. The only difference between mounts is the pre 98 ones are three pieces where you can change the bearing and the 99 up is one piece so you can't change the bearing. But check out napa to see if they can get you the piece if not.

Take the 2000 mount off of the guy making sure to get everything from the top of the spring up. Also if i'm not mistaken it will set your car a little lower in the front.

no im not talkin about the rubber insulators, it is the piece right above the insulator, its shaped the same buts it composite plastic. i think the 2000+ mounts have this piece built in but i cannot find a good enough pic to tell, anyone got a close up of the newer mount.
