I'm pretty certain that my strut top bearings have gone. They always creaked when turning left and right when static.

Since fitting Koni Yellows and Eibach Pro's a month ago; the strut knocking has become really bad and one was noticeably graunchy.

I've found Meyle, Febi and Lemforder on the Bay; all are similarly priced. Which would you go for?

Meyle or Lemforder are always top notch quality.

We use Lemforder where required without any issues whatsoever quality wise it's right up there like Meyle and offers a great value alternative to the OEM part in many cases

For suspension parts I always use lemforder

I'm going to also recommend Lemforder as my dad works for them

Thanks Guys; Lemforder it is!

Is it feasible that disturbing the strut tops due to fitting the Koni's and Eibach's has exacerbated the failure?

I always had a creak when steering left and right at low speed or at a standstill which I believe is the spring spinning in the cup due to the seized strut caps and the bearings were grumbly.

I now have a knocking which sounds like the strut bouncing at low speed and knocking inside the strut tower.
