Top mount bearing

[Robs-se]

Is it possible to tighten the nut without taking the leg off?

[Fraz]

yup just leave the car with the weight on the wheels, take the top strut mount off and the nut it there

[Robs-se]

Thanks Fraz, thought the nut would be just too far down to reach

[KERR_SE9]

You might find once it starts to get tight the strut may spin round,try an impact driver

[Fraz]

the strut piston will spin, thats why there is usually a method to lock it right at the top of the piston. It can be a fitting for a spanner or allen key or torx

Nuts tightened, eyes watering , cured most of my knocking now, i can now feel the road as it should be ........... Pot holed
