PeteK - can you post a bigger resolution image of that picture to your photo gallery (or email one to me)?

I had my car up and wheels off looking at my brake problem (as yet unresolved), and noticed that installing the coil-overs looked like a quick job. I hesitated, though, because the top mount just doesn't look strong enough to take the load of the springs and shock. It doesn't look as reinforced as the front shock mount.

Any metallurgists or mechanical engineers care to ease my mind? It just looks like the load the upper bolt would take when the suspension moves would be too much for it.

Thanks,

JLW
