I have a 2016 GTI, think I'm good with the new revised strut bearing (5Q0-412-249-F) vs the older, E version?
$7/each for the new one vs $23/each for the older version.
I'd think you'd be fine... but where are you finding them for $7!? I just replaced mine during a spring install and the dealer had them listed for $50/ea, but gave them to me for $30/ea.
