Default Front struts, and strut mounts

I just want to know what struts, and strut mounts do you have.
How many miles, and how do they perform.

I don't want to buy the same crap, like the aftermarket engine mount I bought. It supposed to be liquid filled.

Stock front struts, 171k.

Rear NAPA quick struts with around 70k, and they started clunking and squeaking around 20k ago.

All 4 struts are the stock factory struts with 150K and they work fine.

You guys make me want to keep the stock struts for longer.
My struts make squeaking noises sometime. They also feel bumpy.
My car is near to 90,000 miles.
Most people replace their struts at 70,000-90,000 miles? or I heard that from the sale men?
I will do some tests on my struts before I replace them.

My squeaky noises are coming from my poly bushings. Not sure if you have factory bushings or what though.

I replaced my rear struts because the top of the rod had become rusted and would make a bunch of funny noises.
