USA Automotive  :icon_winkle:

They are not Crown parts for a start. Fitted new ones 2 years ago tops, less than 10k later, absolutly shagged.

Bought some non crown ones from USA Automotive just before christmas, good price & next day delivery.

I've got US Automotive ones on mine they cost about £60 a side and just as good as the expensive ones

Got a part number?  Their online ordering isn't pulling up the right results for my '91 YJ.

Which is this:

Should be like this:
