I would just go with Delphi or whatever from RockAuto. Also, get one without the rear bushing and support, then upgrade yours with a poly kit.

Buying replacement auto parts on Amazon is very risky business. Failure rates and defective parts is very common. Go OEM if possible or good known after market brands from reputable sellers
