ECS Heavy Duty Strut Mounts; Install Questions & Experience?

I’m trying to kill a creak I’m getting from my front passenger strut area. The bearings were replaced apparently during my coil over install last year.

What else is needed? Any additional hardware?

Anyone running these? What kind of feedback can you provide?

I ran ECS for a year before changing to 034.
ECS is not as heavy duty as it sounds. For me they were similar to OE.
I also had sounds. I think the gloss coating they add might increase this chance for sound.
My first set of 034 had wear issues from shock mount nut which was improved by 034 with the addition of a washer you also use when installing. Washer goes between shock and mount. Gives a smooth rotational surface. Over 10,000 miles and so far ok.
Will see how it goes.

I would suggest 034 but make sure they send the washer with each mount.
Some have issues with 034 so not perfect.
Other option is OE or switch to a camber mount like 034 offers and Superpro also makes.

Proper install and torquing to yield is also critical on any part install.
