Dempsey Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Just after a little pre Christmas Scooby advice if at all possible? The bugeye I'm looking at hopefully getting Saturday with this minor knock it has, has been suggested it looks like the front top mounts that could be playing up. I have had a little look into it and yes they have a few references but just checking on this part really. The guy has offered me another £120 off the price to take those into account so does that sound plausible? Being very new to them still just seeing if this is reasonable as most mounts I've found are all uprated and cost a fair amount. Any advice or info appreciated. Merry Christmas & a Happy new year in advance to all our fellow subaru lovers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Quick eBay search brings them up around that price. Keeping in mind that is parts only, I would maybe suggest getting them to do it? Unless you can do it yourself of course. Merry Christmas to you too (y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempsey Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yeah I've seen them aroud that price so that's not really an issue but wasn't totally sure if they do suffer from that on the front. I know the rears and shocks tend to suffer but haven't seen much in the way for reference on the front end? It's something I can get done at work for about £20 so the fittings not so much of an issue just trying to see if what I'm being told is believable?

Gaulson Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Well without hearing it in person it could be possible but it could be many things, that's probably the dearest I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempsey Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Oh I know it's not something that can be sorted without hearing it in the flesh that's for sure but if it sounds a reasonable thought then that's fine. Just trying to see if I'm being LED down the path with the suggestion if you see what I mean. Appreciate your reply and hope your having a very Merry Christmas :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempsey Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Well I bought it. It's home after a somewhat eventful day that makes me surprised I continued to buy it (no fault of the car) but by the time things came to light the deal had been done. Nothing serious really, just things that should've been taken care of before I bought it but weren't and just made for a very long winded day waiting around for things to be sorted. Still all was sorted and then we were bought dinner for the inconvenience so can't knock that really. The knock appears to be the starting of the shocks going after more looking into it so the money saved off purchase price will be going into suspension after a little while. Still other than that the car is so solid, really impressed on the 85 mile journey home. Very pleased with it. Will get some pics up of it soon (once cleaned again) to show the beast off lol :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
