unlike those bastard 3rd market companies who keep their gas on the outside. garbage!


i'm pretty sure when your doing your struts, your also going to want to replace the upper strut mount/bearing plate.

but i honestly don't know, cuz i haven't done this yet. (have the struts here, just waiting to buy springs and get good instructions on the work involved)

I bought new mounting plates for mine, but I have an extremely high mileage car. I'm not sure if there is a recommended point where you should do it. But if you've got any knocking, I would go ahead and spend the extra money and do it all at once. And they are sold separately.
