Default Upper shock mounts

Hi all.
Has anyone ever sourced just the rubber parts for the upper shock mounts? I need at least two and they're £75 each.

There are various folks with thoughts on these and to rebuild or replace. Seems most say just replace.

See Rev Sam's video about this. In frustration he concluded - just not worth it. Buy the whole unit. I got mine at Parts geek for around $105.

<p>+1 on Rev Sam recommendation to just buy replacements. &nbsp;You can also check out this thread&nbsp;as I sent my old shock mounts to fellow forum member Tony Chiles so he could try to rebuild them. &nbsp;While quite successful, he agreed with Rev Sam</p><p>Here is the link and his recommendation:</p><p>https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...mounts-106289/</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

I don't agree with the consensus, I found it no bother to rebuild, especially if you can find a poly bush.

Thought you meant the whole thing. Sorry. the 75 pounds is $116. Here are the whole ones, for about the same, on ebay:

I replaced mine at 52,000 miles and wished I hadn't the old ones were that good. They are yours for the cost of shipping.
