the market we got some samples of them and they fell apart in 100 miles if you don t buy the strut bearing from us be careful spring compressor junk piece it together forever what recycled used to mean before p.c politically correct was reuse or just use until it s complete useful life is up now the mumbo jumbo spin doctors green peace s executive directors whose job is to keep their $250,000 a year job and double talking politicians have us believing a coke bottle is not where it s at they have us believing that grinding the bottle up into ground glass is recycling don t recycle a good repairable car or part into ground up steel ore use it as a car fix it use it forever e in mad and ail th not ours we sell a spring compressor tool it s not u.s made but it works and will last for 100 spring jobs it s plenty strong enough for vw® springs a little weak for ford truck springs it s low price can fool you follow the directions spring compressor set #sn03530 19.95 real recycling is using the strut bearing you see pictured above was a sample of a great buy which was offered to us in our never ending quest for information on what works well and what doesn t we installed these made in thailand bearings on one of our shop cars what you see above is what happened to this bearing in 100 miles as the popular volkswagen® models age there are more and more manufacturers offering replacement parts some perform well others are junk not all bearings are created equal be careful p-78 we carry specialty vw tools!
