I purchased 4 complete struts for my 2002Honda CRV and within a year and a half the top bushing / mount on the front struts failed so I purchased 2 new struts from Honda which cost $290 and had to install (compress springs etc.). The original Honda bushings were still perfect after 13 years. I had tire wear, noise and pieces of rubber at the top bushing on the complete strut. So I called complete strut and they replied they never heard of this before but too bad because they were 6 months past 1 year warranty. Moral of story is just buy OEM and not this Chinese junk-it is cheaper in the long run..
