I am going to order(online) 2 strut assemblies and I want to get everything I will need in one order. What else should I order for this job? The bellows look fine, the mounts look fine, but how about spacers, bearings, bushings-or should I just wait and buy other parts locally as needed?

You can order the strut kit that everything comes pre-assembled. All you have to do is remove the old assembly, and install the new one. No messing with removing spring from struts and all.

The other is to purchase the rest of what you need locally, so at least you can return it if you don't need it.
