replacing spring seats, should also do front mounts? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be ksg on  Mon Mar 12 09:49 CST 2007 [RELATED]

A dealer parts man told me the bearings often are found to be bad if the spring seat was bad and was not attended to for a while. I had one side spring seat go bad on my 95-850 and did not attend to it for some weeks. When I removed the strut the bearing was quite tight compared with a new one, so I replaced it.
I'm about to do the other side.

So I guess the conclusion is if possible inspect the bearing then decide. My personal choice for this type of repair is an OEM part even though it is more expensive.
