Word of Caution on Rein Strut Mounts
Do not buy rein part CRP-AVQ0447 / oem part 31306775098. I bought some of these and discovered issues with clunking and lower ride height down the road. Turned out that the bearing had a lot of play compared to a lemforder part. I observed this with the 4 I bought. Also the rubber portion collapsed in 2 months time as seen in the picture.

Thanks for the heads up. Rein parts can be a crapshoot as they sometimes rebox OE/OEM stuff at a lower price but other times it's junk. You really have to pay attention to where the part is made.

I think the rein parts made in germany are fine. This part is made in china.
