I was going to replace the front top mount bearings while I did the suspension change. I went to Euro carparts and got some new top mounts front and rear, thinking they would come with the bearings, the part number is: 3133139452 for the front.

I cant seem to find the bearings on the etk I can see them if I look in the engine bay so I know they are there, anybody have any ideas or know the part numbers?

Thanks

The bearings are integral in the rubber mount. Or should be ... they are with the Febi Bilstein ones I got.

Yeah... the fronts should come with the bearings built in. Do not worry.

Where did you buy your ones from? I got mine from Eurocarparts and they have NO intergrated bearings, thats the only thing I am worried about!

Bought mine over here in Denmark. There should be a metal ring in the middle (that the shock slides through) with the bearings around the outer edge.
Can you take any pics ??

I always use GSF for any non-OEM part
