Unless its lowered, yes compressors needed. Grease inspect top mount barings etc

If I get a new top mount does anyone know if it comes with the bearing or not?

Here is what the top bearing looks like,although not suggesting you buy from here as quality is unknown

Worth a pm to Andyc on here for price on genuine

I'd strongly suggest checking steering box bolts are tight before doing anything.

Mark discovered the box bolts where creaking on AA's car. Except the creak sounded like a knock. But only after checking the top mounts which where fine in his case.

It sounded for all the world like it was coming from the top shock mount area.

Thanks for th advic eI will do that ... where is the steering box?

[feeutfo]

In the engine bay on the end of the steering column. But the bolts are accessed from the drivers wheel arch. The nuts are accessed from under neith between box and engine. Remove heat shield nuts and hold the Box nuts with a spanner if the bolts spin.
