Strut top

[payaya]

Hey where can I get stock one and how much are they?

You can get Tien adjustable ones for 130USD in America. Anyone use them?

Thanks!

It's pillowball upper mount, to be exact.

That tein set, cheapest you can get through locally is from perfectrun au/jp delivered to your door for around $250 or less. You'll need to email them on the product as Tein's is not listed on their web which only got Cusco's there.

Ben is using them. He bought it through camskill which is dearer.

For usd$130? where?

Yeah I use those & thats a great price. Freight will probably kill it thou, yanks are obsessed with using UPS which is usually a $70 hit just to get them here.

Obviously the old tops are not used?

The OE is made of rubber bush which replaced by pillowball in Tein's.
And the mounts on Tein is metal instead of rubber. (harsher ride, of course).

And, i heard that Tein's bearing are prone to fail after some time creating noise, which needs to be replaced.

How prone to failing?? How much are the oe bushes here?

[phunkydude]

Not sure about locally. I think you only able to get it from local mitsubishi. Try phone them for price.

Google "tein pillowball bearing noise" , plenty of discussions in forums.
FYI, tein's coilovers for fto are using the same pillowball upper mount.

I've had em on my car for 6 years & never had a bearing noise or issue. Just need to lube the top ball from time to time as per Tien specs.

btw they can be used on any strut, not just Teins.

Considering my stock strut tops have seen their days I def will get some.

If ya wanna go halves in freight, I'll get a set too. The rubber units in the misses car are shot to sh*t too so I need some replacements.
