You'll find lots in here with the Monroe top shock mount, only $10 a side (which is what I used) or if you feel like spending a little (lot) more, then the Powerflex or Dinan ones would be beneficial. The firmer top shock mount does make a difference. I think you'll really like the HDs if you're not lowering.

Thanks. I read through that post but was confused if those monroe mounts were for the front or rear. I will pick up a pair of those and reuse the current lower mounts on the rear.


EDIT: One more question: The "front upper tower bearing" (according to bavauto) is the same as the front mount, correct?

Part number 31211 01?
