They don't have to be anything special, someones old stock one's would work.
I've replaced everything suspension wise, but I think I might have damaged my strut bearing on the drivers side during the install.
Thanks

I think I might have something Shawn (remind me again what year) but it's in my storage unit so I won't know for sure until the weekend.
I know for sure I have a full 07 wagon suspension with only 20k on it, but I'm not sure I've reached the point emotionally where I want to donate it, if you know what I mean LOL.
Otherwise I think I have 00-04 struts somewhere that are donatable.
Maybe I don't get what's up - but why not just replace the strut bearing - they're really cheap.

Thanks Ken!
It's the 00-05 suspension.
I've bought or replaced everything in the front end trying to find the clunk I have, end links, sway bar bushings, struts, springs, control arms, inner and outer tie rods, and strut bearings which I think I might have damaged during the install.
I don't want to spend anymore money only to find out I just spent money were I didn't need to.
So I figured if someone had some old struts they didn't need or want I would put my other set of springs on those struts and see if that is my issue.

I have just gotten used to the random clunks I got after replacing everything front and rear. Just turn the music up.

^^^LOL!
I've tried, believe me.
This one is actually really loud, I can hear and feel it even with the music cranked.
