Having a suspension revamp on the C240 at the front. Got all the parts and will be getting the strut assembled by experienced mechanics then fitting myself.
One question is, why do the mounts not come with a nut to lock the top mount in place?
I will have to get two of these separately in order for the mechanics to fit the top mount... I have inspected all the parts I have bought and surprised the febi mounts don't have these locking nuts
The mounts themselves have no threads and use a separate slotted nut as pictured below
Said slotted nut then requires a " special tool " like this... to tighten
I see some old VWs have a similar system
