Rear top mounts

Post by mcjjordan »

So after fitting new rear springs it no longer crashes and bangs over bumps so i can now hear the smaller noises-
I have a ticking/clicking noise from the rear left , it sounds like a washer hitting metal or similar .
It seems to be coming from the too mount but when i had it all apart it didnt strike ne as being at fault- but they are 35 years old!

So can anyone help, how can i tell if its failed , is there a tolerance, is there an upgrade, if not any good source?

Also dust covers for shocks or lack of them , is it going to come back & bite me?
