Jim:
I'm not sure if your 90's strut is the same as my 83's. Anyway, I just did my whole front end (inner & outer tie rods, balljoints, all suspension bushings and of course the struts) a couple of weeks ago. As far as the struts. I only replaced the upper mounts/bearings and the cartridge. I believe the spacer is at the bottom of the tube but I didn't bother fishing it out. Struts seems to be working fine. Make sure you tighten the upper mount nut. Makes for some loud clunks if you don't. How do I know? Anyway, I ended up using an impact wrench to tighten.
