Ford KA front suspension top mount
I have been told that the top mount on my front suspension needs replacing. Please would you briefly describe what is involved, and could I do the job myself. If so, do I need any special tools?

by family/friend or a trained mechanic.
what is the fault you have with your car?
IF you are hearing a knocking noise it could also be the shock absorber, possibly the wheel bearing( although that would usually make a rumbling noise before it starts to knock).
it could also be the cv joint ( they make more noise when steering is on full lock)
if you are confident, the job should take about an hour .
but you need a pair of spring compressors, about 30 quid
and a decent metal bar , about 3 feet long (for leverage)
if you still want to give it a go post a reply and i will advise step by step.
