    Hi. I agree about the "creaking" and clunking. There is a crude bearing ring under the big rubber bush atop the front struts. They are separately available quite cheaply, but since you have to get the shocker / spring off to replace it is probably wise to replace both the bush and bearing (which normally comes with the kit) at the same time. I'm pretty sure the top mounts are the same as regular 75's / ZT's, at least Rimmers show the same part number, and are available as aftermarket (Fleebay) or originals, I believe. Not TOO much difference in price. If you are changing the struts then it makes good sense to change the top mountings anyway in view of the work involved, as advised by others.
