Upper strut bearings



With Koni's, race springs and 195/50-15 tires on the car I never had a set
last more than 3 months.  I put the urethane ones on and solved the problem
for good.  It seems that when you put on heavy springs and shocks that the
spring rate of the strut bearings is less than everything else and they die
real quickly.
