Tokico's... which way do they go?

As for the spring popping, I have a theory. I assume the bearing in the upper strut mount lets the strut piston(?) rotate when the wheels turn. If there is no bearing, then the strut piston(?) can't rotate, thus something has to give, and it happens to be the spring. Am I totally off or is that a possibility?

I still don't know why 2 identical part numbers were different.

Yeah, The upper seat is supposed to rotate with the strut when you turn the wheel and keep the spring seated. I have no idea why theres no bearing in the other.

odd. And there's no way that center piece can rotate in the new upper mount? Because it needs to.........amazing how simple stuff always turns into rocket surgery lol
