Is the bottom bushing bad or the top. The top is what I see fail and cause noise. It is available separately: 140 320 09 44.

The real problem that takes out these parts and the shocks eventually are the accumulators. Long before you notice how bad they make the car ride they are doing damage. As their capacity drops they start "bottoming out". Once every bump is a "bottom out" the problem gets addressed.
