YouTube reviews - of course! The ball joints seem to have good reviews, same with rear strut mounts.

Interestingly this one came up when researching the strut mounts... seems 034 may have a washer fix for them (did you have coilovers?) Solowerks Clunking Noise 034 Strut Mounts - YouTube

I've already bought/received all those parts I listed (except LCAs, still deciding), so hoping the washer fix is good and they are usable...

The 034 strut mounts I had came with the washer (but no instructions as to what they were for) - I tried putting the washer above and below the mount and it still rattled like crazy.

On my Mk7 Golf GTI, I had the optional DCC shocks, with 034 lowering springs and then the 034 strut bearings and 034 strut mounts. After experiencing the rattling and not being able to make this issue go away or even reduce slightly, all I changed was the strut mounts and the issue went away.

In my opinion the 034 strut mounts are flawed.
