hello there, i have been advised with my mot that the n/s top suspension mounting is close to max wear, i wonder if someone can tell me more about it,what tools i will need, how do i change it, should i change anything else while im doing that and is it a good idea to visit my local breakers to save money as im planning on lowering the car at a later date (i hope!), any advice will be great

cheers lads

First ive herd of it wearing out ! but old top bushes do sag a little over time.

I replaced mine along with new top mount bearings, bearings were cheep but top mount bushes were pricy even from autovaux.
