This weekend I will be replacing the spring seats on my '99 v70r for the third time in less then a year. The first time, I replaced lower control arms, struts, strut mounts and spring seats. This set were some cheap pieces of crap (or so I thought) that I purchased on ebay. They lasted about a month before starting to rattle. The second set was made by kyb and purchased from a local parts store. They made it about a month and a half before the right mount seperated (the left is cracked and will fail within the next month). I have ordered a set of the heavy duty mounts from IPD and will be installing them this weekend.

Now my question - Is there anything that I could be doing wrong that is making these mounts fail or are they just crappy? Any help would be appreciated.
