E30 front strut mounts
-
Hi all. I recently replaced my front upper strut mounts on the e30. I seem to have worse vibration after the install than before.
Are they directional in any way? I thought they could only go in one way with the way the bolts line up to the holes, but I guess I'm not positive. I noticed the notch out of the metal but didn't pay attention to its direction when I pulled the old ones.
Thanks for the help

E30 strut mounts are the same part number for left and right, and the bolt pattern only allows them to be installed one way from what I remember. When does the vibration occur and is it random? A failing strut mount usually knocks over bumps as the bearing or rubber wears out, or becomes notchy while turning the wheel back and forth. Its possible that a new/stiffer mount is transferring more of the vibration from something else in the suspension compared to the old mount?
