hello,

when you say your top mount is just spinning. are you holding the centre stud with something. the nut will keep spinning unless you can hold the centre stud. (your basically turning the rod of the piston)

might be worth jacking the car up and inspecting the suspension a little. check for any excess play or see if you can replicate the noise while its in the air to identify where its coming from!

Hope thats of some help!
