Rear suspension top mounts
Could anyone point me in the right direction for some rear suspension mounts? Part number 4D0 512 169 D doesn't bring anything up. Do these look right?

I'm in the process of Re-bushing my whole rear end and have one side completely stripped. I don't recognise the part in your picture though. When you say "top mount", what actually do you mean? There is a top mount for the spring, and a bottom one for that matter. There is also a top mount for the shock absorber. I'm not 100‰ sure but I don't think this is available any more.

Mmm I've been googling the Sachs and Lemforder numbers and no one has stock anywhere that I can find. D2 only so they will be NLA from Audi too.
I am fairly sure the rubber is bonded in the housing. Its not listed as a separate part. I'll be in the workshop in a bit so I'll have a look. Tbh they don't seem to wear out so I wouldn't lose any sleep over re-using them. They have a fairly easy life with just the damper attached to them rather than a complete strut and they're tucked away out of the weather. |

I went through this last year with mine. Upper rear shock mounts are NLA from everywhere. I ended up reusing my originals because they were in decent shape and I simply couldn't find replacements anywhere.

Try contacting the following two sites, as both show them as being available. Normally, when I do a search for an item and they don't have it, it comes back and states it can't be found.

I ordered the mounts from 6 different companies last year. All 6 happily took my money, and then ended up sending me a refund when they found that they weren't able to order them.
