cj1 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Hey up - anyone aware of somewhere that does adjustable top mounts for the Lupo? (Or what else uses the same - 6N/6N2 are the same too I think). See @Kam Racing have some listed on their site but says "No options available" so I'm assuming they're no longer available. Cheers Edited January 29, 2019 by cj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR5V Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Adjustable mounts : Silverproject.eu I understand they tend to use ball joint that are off the shelf standard size, so replacement should be a reasonable price. An OEM fixed upgrade apparently is Audi 80 top mounts, the PO fitted them to mine, I can find out the part number soon as they are coming off soon. I got some new top bearings, trying SKF ones, they have a metal body, look tougher than my usual go-to Lemforder Edited January 30, 2019 by LR5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking specifically for adjustable, want to adjust camber without having to move top of wheel closer to strut/spring. But the info re fixed upgrade will be useful for when I do the suspension on the TDI! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 They should do that, the point the shock can be center as OEM location. the slot can be rotated and fixed in any direction. I will look out the part number of the assumed Audi 80 top mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 @cj1 and nearly 2 months later I finally get round to removing the apparent Audi 80 top mount. The thing is it uses the old style awful castellated sleeve nut to hold the top mount in place - would love to know what they are called? - they are a complete PITA to deal with. Limit plates had to be packed out with washers - seem to recall Audi ones were deeper Only taken one out, but it looked distorted. The part number is 8A0 412 323D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
