Need Advice on New Struts

I have a 2010 Max with a broken passenger side spring. Local part shops don't have the whole assembly with spring, and I was told the spring it's a dealer part. The dealer says I would need the strut, spring, bearing mount, & insulator. Total cost per side $390+tx. My brother-in-law will be doing the work for me. I'm just trying to find the best price, and some info.

So 2 questions I guess

1. Do the bearing mounts and insulators need to be replaced?
2. Does anyone have any trusted resources online to buy these parts?

Thanks

Yeah, replace all that, no sense reusing parts, and the stuff on top is probably the cheapest of parts. You could go aftermarket for everything, but you're probably not going to save much.

I looked on CourtesyParts.com (Nissan Dealer) and those 4 parts are about $250. You could also try Rock Auto. Don't really know if you can use any of the old parts.
