Hi Paul,

I did both at 150k, but should reveal that I was able to get Monroe struts as part of a buy one get one free promotion ($70 for both) and felt I "owed" the car a little more. I did use the Scan Tech models with no problems.

On my car, the strut bearings seemed fine (no noise) when I spun them. I did the same job with a family member on his at 100k and his right assembly sounded gravely.

I'm not sure where you live, but on the east coast I get these parts in less than a day so you may want to pull and inspect each part before ordering. If that's not practical, you may want to order both since a faulty bearing assembly could have contributed to the seat failure.

Mike
