A little note on strut bearings, try to stay away from the Brazilian made
bearings! I bought these a couple years ago and last week when I put in my
Konis, they were shot! Completely! Granted I have about 31,000 miles on them
and some of it was autoxing (about 20 events) but they were junk when I took
them off. I now have German made strut bearings (Cost a little more I think)
and do feel a difference.
