Strut Spring Mount

I replaced the upper spring seat along with the strut with this heavy duty one after seeing the condition of the old one. I believe that heavy duty upper spring seat and along with replacing the struts will last much longer than the standard one.

I replaced my cheap generic spring seats with these IPD heavy duty ones and what a
difference. The noises are gone and handling has improved. These are built much
better and heavier than the ones I took out. The cheap ones didn't last me more than
8 months. I installed them along with the Sachs/Boge struts and I could feel a drastic
improvement.

I blew out the factory spring seat of my 2000 V70XC and put the top of the strut right into the hood. Ouch. After toning down my off road driving, I called ipd and ordered a pair of Bilstein HD struts and the new HD spring seats. What a difference! These things are amazing. The control and response is like night and day. I recommend this set-up to all V70 drivers.

I had a pair of these installed today on our 1998 V70 GLT (120k miles). The ten years of driving had caused the original seats to crack/rot away. The difference in driving with new HD upper srping seats is phenonemal - so smooth. The independant that put them in thought they were well built. If you have a front end metal on metal rattle especially over sharp bumps (that in our case was aggravated by freezing cold weather) it could be your upper spring mounts.

i HAVE A 2000 V70XC installed these spring seats along with new bilstiens struts and WOW!!!.
WHAT A BIG DIFFERENCE. THE WHOLE CAR HANDLES SO MUCH BETTER AND VERY MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE. IF YOU'RE REPLACING YOUR STRUTS SOON I RECOMEND THIS SET UP. HEAVY DUTY BILSTIEN STRUTS AND HEAVY DUTY SPRING SEATS BY IPD.
