absolutely. we drive around with worn out stuff all the time! not having a clue and those would be top of the list. and mrmaas' "clicking" sound? will probably be eliminated with the new bearing and top mounts. it's a very wise preventative part replacement on a 11/14yr old car, although i waited to "hear" pops and clicks also.
gl with the coilover install.

The top mounts are backordered a few days so I have more time to plan the install. The more I search the forums the more convinced I am that these top mounts were a good purchase. Many people on the forum have had them wear out. The bearings underneath also fail pretty miserably after years of use and miles.The sound is definitely from the front end and presents itself when going over any surface that results in front suspension compression. It's especially noticeable over slow driveway approaches.

thats' the ticket, same conditions and circumstance that caused my issues that the bearings and top mounts being replaced cured. GL! I think that'll do it

Car is done with the exception of alignment which gets in today. First impression is it sits low , and I like the look so far. Sits ~20-23mm lower. I know its been said before that quality springs don't need to settle but I'm going to do some flat ground measurements with the Ohlins to see if this indeed true or not
