    Default fornt strut bearing oil?

    hey guys, i was just outside peeking underneath my hood and pulled off the strut top nut cover and noticed some oil on top. does this mean my strut bearing is bad?


    also will the existing strut bearings in front work my my bilsteins?

    there should be some grease visible but not in great quanitys, not sure where oil would of come from, even a totally blown strut wouldn't get oil on top of the bearing, if you ordered the correct replacment bilsteins the tops will work
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
