So I get clunking from both top front strut mounts when turning the wheel.

How much has anyone paid to replace these? Parts are about £30 per side.. What is the labour?

Has anyone found a way to stop them clunking temp? My garage told me to keep spraying WD40 into them.. and that he had put white grease on them to stop it a bit.. (How did he do this without removing the suspension?)
Is there an easier way from underneath?

I've been using the car like this for around 2 years now and its getting louder. Garage told me it wasn't an MOT fail last time and it is not detremental to the cars health.. I don't want them too loud this time when it goes in next month!
Just sprayed WD40 on them tonight and I will keep on doing so every so often for the next four weeks till the MOT.

At a decent garage, no longer than an hour. The tops are only held on to the chassis with one nut, and the bottom 2 bolts on the axle. All they have to then do is pop it in a spring compressor, remove the old top and place a new one straight on. That's half an hour per side.

I'd say no longer than 3 hours for the amateur DIY mechanic with the right tools.
