I bought some of the ones made by Gabriel and marketed by Sears. The red
ones-- sorry, I don't know exactly what Sears called them. They bolted
right on (I shot the old ones with WD-40 and let them sit overnight),
and I had no more front end vibration problems. I recommend them. I
think they were $13 each.
