Strut Bearings (Aftermarket)

Are there any alternatives to the stock plastic strut bearings. Mine went and i'd hate to have to replace them again in a little bit. I heard some people make aluminum ones which are stronger but I can't find anything on the net. Thanks.

Also, what do you guys think of the Napa strut bearings?

I went with aftermarket strut bearings (KYB)..When installed the noise was still there, so I had to return and get original Nissan, the noise finally went.

hes talking about bearings and not mounts. But as far as bearings i only know of OEM. And KYB Mounts are very know to make lots of noise OEM is your best choice for the front mounts.
