Default Ordered Intrax rose-joint top-mounts

As one of my OEM top-mounts needs a replacement, I decided to replace them with the rose-jointed top-mounts by Intrax.

Any owners have experience with these? Any noticeable difference apart from their longevity?

Thanks!

No experience with Rose-Jointed top mounts but how did you know you top mounts were away? Knocking from the rear? Remove them?

Well since all other bushes have been replaced aside from the top-mounts they're the only suspects. They produce a knocking sound on larger surface imperfections indeed.

Got these fitted this week-end, I'm very pleased with the result. The car is much more alive and reactive. Feels rock-solid as well.

NVH has gone up 100% though. :D
