Glad to hear that you are a fairly competent mechanic . The top strut mount on my 2021 Panda has a 2mm wide gap which I drowned in squirty can chain lube Then wrapped it in a few layers of cling film . The anti roll bar bushes are not replaceable on my Panda one has to cough up €350 euros for a complete roll bar with moulded on bushes . I grease all of the ball joints using an hypodermic needle obtained from the local agricultural supplier to inject a few pumps of grease through the rubber gaiter .. Wiggle the joint after greasing . disconnect the steering ball joint to allow for a good wiggle of the struts . The anti roll bar drop link ball joints are a must for greasing they get quite a hammering . As far as the top nut torque / tightness is concerned I put a 10 inch long bit of tube on the allen key and give the nut a good tighten not enough to break the 6mm allen key . My Panda Hybrid 2021 strut top bearing is almost three times the dia of a friends Lancia Musa strut / fiat panda . Have fun .. Richard in Alvito Portugal .
