Strut Mounts

This isn't for my Jetta but a friends...

Needs strut mounts from what I was told. I was looking at a parts list and saw the following...

Yes, you need two of each in order to do both front struts

Follow up question. I drive a 2000, 1.9 tdi, new Bettle (150k Miles). I recently replaced front struts, sway bar bushings, ball joints and the upper mounts and bushings. However, the there is about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap at the top of the strut. I dont understand why there is still a gap. I was under the impression that a compressed strut mount caused the gap but I guess that is not the case. Could it be that the coil springs are worn out and compressed as well? Please let me know what other parts could be causing this gap since i ran out of ideas and need advise.

Many thanks

I think you are OK with the gap. Have a look at Wing-Nut's How-To on strut mount replacement. IIRC that is where I saw the discussion.

I have:

2 - 1J0498331C Front Shock Mount Kit
2 - 1J0513353G Rear Shock Mounts

Bolt Kits for above

I'll take $25+shipping if you want them.

I will Thanks JB.
