I can't believe it...but after two weeks short of one year anniversary of replacing my front spring seats, they have failed again!! (Less than 10Kmiles later).

At the time, I researched here and was recommended to use XC90 seats - which I did. Only I did not buy OEM and maybe that was my mistake?
I bought MOOG (MOG K90229) for a 2005 XC90 from Rockauto.com

I really do not want to make this to an annual repair....:(

Any suggestions on best replacement part?

I saw on IPD's site they sell one OES for XC90 at $40

And also what they call Heavy Duty for $49 (No mention about XC90 seats for this)

http://www.ipdusa.com/products/4712/112831-ipd-heavy-duty-front-upper-spring-seat

Anyone with experience of either one of these brands?

I also found these XC 90 seats on FCP for $38, any one tried these?

I technically have two weeks left on one year warranty on the MOOG seats, but don't really want to replace them again after another year...

Looking for somebody with good luck on particular brand / supplier of seats.

Thanks
