Thanks guys, a vendor was calling it a front strut mount kit but he couldn't verify if the bearing came with it. I couldn't find any info that the bearing came with the Tokico mount. Does anyone have any positive comments on a KYB front strut mount and bearing? I can get the KYB mount and bearing for a little cheaper than the Tokico mount plus I have to get the bearing for the Tokico mount.

I may go with KYB strut mounts/bearings or Tokico Strut Mounts/bearings

I just had my OEM front drivers side strut mount and strut bearing swapped out because of the "infamous popping" and THE SHyT has started back up again....arggh that damn noise is driving me insane

mine does the same.. but it goes away and comes back... and i know the side thats popping is bad, cuz when we put it back in we didn't put back the little rubber piece or the thin red paper spacer..

If you want the best fitment possible, go with OEM. I learned the hard way.

Did you try the KYB's? I blew my left front strut (second time since I've lived in Vegas - ****ing Vegas roads) and I'm just going to replace the whole set with Illumina's. I didn't want to pay what the dealership will most likely charge, and I'd read on here about the KYB's.
