Play in top mounts?????

[Tom Mineral Grey S3]

Hey,

Had my S3 serviced recently and was told the suspension top mounts have a small amount of play. When im driving it it feels 'loose' and wondered if anyone can help in shedding some light on how to fix this?
I was thinking possibly replace the bushes but dont know if this will help?

Any info would be great!

Cheers

Tom

top mounts are common, about £15 each or less from audi, and is a sraight forward job, replace the bearing's whilst you change the top mounts as well as they are only cheap

Just had mine done and made a lot of difference to how the car rides.

Didn't quite follow S3APY's response to this. Translation please.
