KYB's Strut mounts Suck

Here's long short story.

Changed my whole suspensions last August 2008. Less than 4000 miles i heard clunking noise from my front driver side. popped up the hood, turned the steering left and right, and looked at the strut mount. The mount was gone. I was like "oh may be i'm just unlucky to get a $hitty mount." changed it with OEM. And the sound was gone. later on, not even 2000 miles, i heard the same sound. I looked at it and i saw the other mount was gone too. i was like wtf. here's the pics. let the pics do the judge.

I didnt take the pics for the other one 'cause i have never thought i will get the same $hit.

*note: i post this because i want to share my experience
