With your strut tops the rubber tends to split, whereas with ours the steel plate rusts away and breaks off.

Your answer surprised me 'cause we don't have this problem here. As some members ever tell me you've got more problems then us with rust.
The famous "dôme de sphère" as we call it in France only have ruber problems, we never heard about rust on the steel plate.
I can give you 2 topics about this problem from my website (you got to be register to have a free acces to read them) :

• Support de sphères - domes avant silent bloc HS
• Sécurité - Domes de suspensiosn avant -Support suspension

Yes, England is very good at spreading the rust around :/

I have never seen a rusted mounting here in Australia, either. Only torn rubber.
