strut mounts

so, apparently after my struts going from my lowering springs, they also did a number on my strut mount and bearings....... I've looked but can't find any for the FE3/FE5 suspensions...... I really, really, REALLY don't feel like getting fucked by the dealer and their price of $340~ just for parts........ are there any aftermarket strut mounts for the SS model cobalts?

The mount is 88964326, $98 each list, $100 shipped for a pair is a killer deal.

The bearing is 22712116(FE1,3) or 22687774(FE5) list is $65/42each

The seat/plate is 22716379 $10 each list.

that's why you never, never buy anything from the dealer. 100 shipped is not an awesome price, you just got ripped off

I've broken a few of these mounts and always ordered from gm parts direct.

And if you ordered them from GMPD you paid more than $100 shipped for a pair.
