- VZ Acclaim 2005
I had my 180,00km 2004 VZ Acclaim serviced a year ago, and on the list of things that need to be done was 'strut top mounts worn'. Now i'm getting around to doing stuff, and DIY. I don't feel/hear any issue with the front suspension, no banging or issues with steering that i notice. I looked under the bonnet and the top mounts look okay. But i did notice a gap. Could that be how to tell they are failing, or is that gap normal? How to check they are failing/about to fail without taking too much apart? I attached photos of the left and right. This car has original parts, no suspension stuff replaced.
