The standard struts are not suitable because Eibachs are lowered but do not despair I know where you can get suitable replacements.
Dave, strut bearings are not part of the struts. They are separate.



I think in your case the strut shaft was broken on the top end and thats why you changed the strut. Was that your's or someone else? But am sure you can replace bearings alone.
