Answering your questions: The struts look like stock, not Koni's which are generally not black in color. The strut bushing/bearing is on an "as needed" basis. You can hear/feel when they are getting worn out. Chances are they may be, since your car is as is mine 27 years old.
I'm about to order new struts but i need to know for sure that mine are koni. As you can see in the picture the part number = option m474, but their black housings?
