I just picked up a used (3000 miles) Pedders Touring setup for real cheap and I am going to be installing them as soon as I get them but needed to know if anybody knew the part number or knew what the rubber thing is on top of the front struts? I wanted to buy new ones from the dealer before putting my new suspension on just for peace of mind. Them rubber things to wear out right? Do they have the rubber things for the rears too? Also, is there anything else I should replace with a new piece when doing the swap? Thanks.

I think its the strut mount, not positive though. Why dont you pm Adam?

I had a Volvo S60 that I had to replace them on twice. I also think they were called Strut mounts...

Thanks alot.

Yeah man, they're upper strut mounts. I haven't seen them go bad on any cars like ours. You could IF you wanted piece of mind, but they are totally re-usable. The thing is they don't swivel like any other type of upper strut mount, usually there are upper bearing plates so the whole strut can turn, unlike ours they are fixed and don't. As for the rear, I TIHNK there are rubber insulators on both the top and bottom of the spring as well, same thing applies, you could replace them for piece of mind, or even if one or more are ripped or something liek that

Mine were fine at almost 50,000 miles

mine were fine at 40k when we took one side apart for the sway bar install.

Hey Jon, what do you think of the Pedders 32mm sway bar? That was included with the shocks that I bought off a guy.

yes, me and tom both have them and love them. ask Adam he saw my bars when we put them in. they are thick as hell and build/powdercoat quality was top notch. i also have one track day on them and they did amazing things for my car. front grip was much improved. you will be love the first time you wag in your lane and the car stays so flat. that puts more force on the front outside tire making more grip and steering response (turn in bite) in corners. that grip reduces under-steer (front end plowing into a corner). since the rear is stiffer it will grip better too or slide out if you put power down to rotate the car. its much more predictable and go cart feeling.

i just think you should save the 125 bux and get a product i feel is similar if not better. it took me a long time to decide to get the stack ones over the hotchkis since they have been "the one" to get on my truck forum for like 8 years. i am glad i got the stack ones instead.
