I agree.  From what I hear, if you're going to put new strut bearings in an
urq, go with the originals (PN# 857-412-323-B, I believe).  I spoke with 2
q-heads this past weekend who need them, and the one has had the same
short-lived experience with the 4kq strut bearings.  It's enough work to go
through without having to have to do it all over again after 6 mos-2 years.
