My strut mounts were removed on my original strut mounts so I chose them from Monroe as they had a bearing and I figured why not. Update the mounts after 160,000 km. If you just want the mount that's fine, but the bearing has a plastic loading surface, not metal like the original. I don't know about the durability of plastic versus metal, but I should have gone with the OEM bearings at $11 each instead.
