Hi All,
I am getting ready to tackle a full front suspension refresh. I am sticking with OEM except for the struts- using Bilstein B6 there. Looking for your opinions on the OEM strut mounts.
I planned on replacing both strut mounts as the rubber is 20+ years old but I have only been able to source the right side part.
The left side part (PN: 31332229165) is not in stock at any online store. Calling dealers they have all told me no one in the country has this part. ECS has an expected restock date in September.
The only other option is the Chinese Hamburg-Technic part.
What would you do in this situation?

What would you do in this situation?
- Resue the original part with a new bearing?
- Buy the knock-off part?
