Default Affordable redesigned top hats/struts mounts and bearings from FORD

I will be replacing old Koni yellows with some new ones and of course decided to do some research as to which parts to use.

I've found we have an amazing CHEAP option and that is top hats and bearings directly from Ford. I paid about $55 for both sides SHIPPED from tasca ford. The parts look like they are great quality and both are made in Europe. Definitely, a better option than OEM or rockauto.


UPDATE: Parts were installed and everything fits perfectly. Even the stock boot.
Part numbers:
bearings: DV6Z-18198-C (made in Germany)
top hats: CV6Z-18183-A (made in Italy)

New bearing (notice the lip, it is on the bottom part, I assume its to stop shit from getting into the bearing and trashing it):

2005 Mazda 3 SP23: mods include rusty quarter panels and grinding 3rd gear. It does have a fusion motor, so I guess that's a mod too.
