If he is going to have a winter and summer set then he should get the best possible summer tire available . To me that is the Toyo T1-R . It is leap and bounds beyond any other tire i have driven.
It is called a strut rod linkage with the bushings also being able to be replaced by themselves for less.
Spend some money and save some time. Buy a new rod and a pair of bushings that way you can get new ones in and take the old ones and press in new bushings . So when they go and they will you will be ready to swap them out quick and for less.
They have an issue working on north American cars which is why only TTE Europe sells them . Besides 10 000 for that little horsepower is ridiculas , you could build a nice turbo kit for less and it would have atleast 100 +
Funny thing is the brake booster does go bad but many people have no idea that it is broken.
Did the rebuild kit come with only springs or what was included in it?
I know mine is slowly going as when i hit the brakes , if i release right away and press it again it will get harder and stop much better.
My friend also had to replace his for the same reason but his pedal would hit the floor.

Get some threadlocker gasket sealent from an auto parts store. You need a medium hold nothing to stiff.
let the car cool and then remove the bolt , clean it and then spread a small amount on the threads ,reinsert and the leak will no longer pass the threads .
You can add it to either of them ,check the general maintenance section for sea foam threads and instructions.
My bank 1 rich is now gone , and my maf is very clean.

I am glad to help and it give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
One other thing to help it move faster is to clean the whole seat belt with a mr clean magic eraser to remove the built up make up and other dirt slowing it down.
