What caused the struts spring seat to crack? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Jake on  Sun Jan 28 09:02 CST 2007 [RELATED]

I have 95 850T with 210k miles. I replaced Belstine struts about 4years ago. I had replaced struts spring seat twice in last twos years only on passanger's side. No problems with driver's side. What is causing it to crack, always at the center where the strut shaft goes?
Thanks

    If you are buying ScanTech spring seats (they're cheap) they are known to have issue and all fail prematurely. Make sure you get OEM next time. Also, with very harsh Bilst's all of the pot holes, etc. are very hard on the rubber above the strut.
