[Vwdiesel] front end wobble, strut mount

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

If it's only happening at braking, it sounds like you have a warped/uneven rotor.  BTDT  Really noticeable with light braking at slower speeds.  Still need to check and turn the offending rotor/s on my car. Dad's was bad enough we put new ones on the front and fixed 95% of it.

hello all, my mechanic has suggested it is due to a strut mount.we have ruled 
ut tire out of balance and ball joint wear.when raised off the ground, grabbing 
he wheel at 9 and 3 and working backand forth i do see some out of round 
ovement at the strut top
hould i presume that it is the mount or bushing inside the mount
he car is a 90 passat, shocks were/are seemingly ok-no bounce, bottoming or oil 
eakbefore i pull the strut out i thought i would ask here, i can drive the car 
hough i do get awobble at 57 to 60 and when i lightly brake. i do have a 91 
etta strut assembly which from my search is the same part, only the mount is 
ifferent.is there any benefit to swapping in this strut or am i just making 
ore work for my self.the new mount is available locally and by autohauz.
hanks again and happy spring!
