    I've heard it's a fairly common issue so I replaced mine with Nolathane ones. I'm convinced it did make my front end sit a touch higher but it was nothing a set of SSLs couldn't fix.

    OE rubber is garbage - mine went before it was lowered - twice - and a third time since - now have Superpro urethane strut mounts with boge bearings - definitely recommend them. Speak to Greg at GSL for a price.
