  • Top strut bearings? Any recommendations?

    Hi guys
    I want to change the top strut bearings for my v5, could anyone tell me if I should just get the OEMs or
    aftermarket ones. I'm planning to install a set of Bilstein B8 at the moment and I think the bearings need to be replaced.
    Any recommendations?
    cheers.

    Stock seems to be fine, some people love the harder poly bushes.
    I bought stock ones 1J0412331C
    Front Strut TOP Mounts Bearings VW Golf MK4 Full SET X2 1J0412331C | eBay

    When I pulled out the old ones they looked perfect, had been in for about 3 years.
    For the price you may as well chage them.
    MK4 GTI - Sold
    MK5 Jetta Turbo - Sold
    MK5 Jetta 2.Slow - Until it dies.
