205 Grp.N Front Strut Top Rubbers
Code: SMB205-1
These uprated rubbers replace standard soft rubbers in the shock absorbers top mounts, located just under strut turrets.
The rubbers are constructed to a very high standard using a rubber compound (with an increased Shore Rating over original), which is considerably firmer than the standard rubbers, making them far stiffer. They give firmer ride and less front suspension flex.
Joints in the original gearchange rod setup contain plastic bushes that wear over time, making the gearchange very unprecise and leading to rods popping off and leaving you stranded on a side of the road or track. Our rods are steel-jointed with securing clips that cures both issues.
This is the one bush which gets over looked when the engine mounts are uprated. The original bush is usually worn and allows unnecessary engine movement for race/rally/trackday setups.
Location: This bush is located within the fork which connects the subframe to the lower engine bush.
Suitable For:
Fits all 106 and 205 models incl. GTi
Direct replacement for original
For a more compliant version of the bush, take a look at the Grp.N version.
