Strut mount bearings that don't suck? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be simon k on  Sat Oct 29 04:09 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Less than a year ago I replaced my 205k strut mount bearings when doing a front end rebuild with some "OEM" SKF (made in Korea) ones. These pieces of junk started devolping cracks in the rubber the first week I had them on, and have gotten worse since then. So much so that the things look downright dangerous. They're bulging through the strut tower, and have hundreds of little cracks (some of which go quite deep).

If I hadn't thrown my old ones out like a fool, I'd put them back in.

Last week I helped a friend do his 240 front end. I noticed his 230k original mounts (which said Boge on them by the way) were like new in comparision, except for a little roughness in the bearings. We re-used them of course.

Does anyone know where I can find some of these Boge or other high quality mounts? The local Volvo dealer won't guarantee that the ones they can get will be Boge.

Thanks!
