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.

031 11 is a left front early Koni, 032 11 is a right front early Koni

So yes.. they are Koni struts.

I stand corrected. Sorry for the mis-information.
