Default Can you help me identify these Upper strut mounts?

Hi, I'm looking for some help to identify some upper strut mounts. I bought a set of shocks used and they came with pillow ball strut mounts. They seemed to be in good condition when I got them but now that I have put them on I can see and feel some play in them when I have the wheels off the ground and I lift the wheel slightly. I want to replace the ball joint and reuse the mount but I don't know what to get. Does anyone have experience replacing the ball joint?

My car is a 2001 Porsche 911 C4 and the shocks are JRZ RS2.

Unfortunately I don't have any more pictures of the shock mount as they are on the car right now. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Dave

If I am understanding correctly, most coil overs come with theirs own upper shock mount. I would contact the company and get a proper replacement.

Ira from Tarett is a great resource and will let you know if it can be rebuilt.

Hi Ratchet,

Thanks for the advice. I'll talk to JRZ and Ira and see what they say.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Those mounts are made by a company called Mode. The monoballs are replaceable but you need a special tool to remove the retainers. If you are able to remove them, there should be a part number on the bushings. Let me know what it is and I can probably help you with a replacement.

Thanks,
Ira

Great! Thanks for the information Ira. I'm not sure when I'll be taking these apart, but I will be in touch if I need your help further.

Cheers,
Dave
