Strut mount life and BRAND???
 
Ok,

I'm looking at my 86' which I replaced the overhauled the front suspension in 04. Driverside strut mount has failed. This is a dealer purchase replacement part (2004). I don't think 6 years and 50,000 miles is reasonable for these. Previously, I had poor luck with the Febi/Bilstein ....

I see:

Meyle HD exceed OE spec
Febi/Bilstein
OE
Metzler (OE supplier)


I've now tried all except the Meyle's and had what I consider poor life especially as then you must re-align the car after replacement.

What do most ppl here suggest?

Do Not the Bilsteins...
 
Purchased "Aftermarket"(I.E.:Not a "Factory" installed item.) still have a "Lifetime" warranty?

Besides what I'm after is best quality part.

Need to buy the Original strut mounts with the Mercedes Logo cast in the rubber part.

Genuine as per Silverteam. Aftermarket rubber just doesn't hold up..
