When I had my suspension replaced, Patrick discovered that my center bearing support was toast. Not just worn, but shredded to bits. Very odd, considering there was absolutely no vibration at any speed; car drove perfectly.

OK, so how did you do that? I was able to post pictures before Photobucket changed its format (right click, click on img). Now, I right click on a picture, and there is no img code.

Thanks.

Never mind, I saw that I could go back to the old Photobucket format, problem solved. Didn't like the new format anyway.

Where did you get the Bilstein struts or are they stickers. The center bearing should be looked at frequently as these caes are for the "tinkerer".

They're the stock struts.

Seriously. You're *this* far away from a driveshaft leaving the car (and hitting some poor bastard) event. Please use lock nuts or at least washers.

Bought the car in June of this year. PO must've omitted the washers. I am well versed in the use of washers.

They're the stock struts.

Update: They are the stock strut housings, obviously new Bilstein struts.
