Top suspension bearing

myjess · 20th February 2007, 06:33

Does anyone know what the order code is for the top suspension bearing(above the spring) on the drivers side front?

I need a new one fitted, as the spring is catching when turning the steering wheel from centre.

Thanks.

Does that mean it makes a kind of "bong" noise? Coz mine does that..

Bong, Spring - Surely you mean boing

I don't know if it is a bong noise. Get someone to turn the wheel with the engine off just around the point where you hear the noise, and if you see the spring jump at the same time as the noise then it could well be.

XPart do not have a bearing, neither do Rimmers, and neither does the old Rover N.Ireland dealership.

XPart says this part was first ordered beginning of December and they still have none!

Does anyone know where to get one, or a suitable replacement bearing?

Thanks.

Sorry couldnt find any in N Ireland but apart from above there are about 12 others spread about dealers in England.

Remember to check that this is the part you require !!

Yep that looks like it alright. Thank you so much.

Maybe worth trying the following

a breakers

someone like spax who do adjustable suspension kits as they may do bearings or know of someone that does

try a bearing supplier as it maybe a fairly standard bearing which is mounted in some fancy housing

get the numbers off it and see if any autoparts company can cross reference it to other models or vehicles

Maybe wrong but am sure someone on .org said there were only 2 left in the UK, or prehaps it was another part and im mistaken, but it was a part which often fails so was surprising no one has a supply or a source for what ever it was

No Probs. If those two have been sold send me a PM and I will look out another couple of possible dealers.

You might also consider buying two anyway on the basis that if one bearing has gone the other side may not be far behind !!

I just missed them. I will try again in the morning, but I have asked them to reserve the two that they have in an e-mail.

Thanks.

They do not have any. Ian on mg-rover.org has been able to steer me in the right direction.

Thanks very much for your help all the same.
