What are the "while you are in there" parts that you replace on the strut before putting it back in?

Did you just replace the strut bearing and bump stops?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Trying to diagnose this knocking noise while low speed turning in either direction. It sounds/feels like it's coming from right under the drivers seat. I crawled under the car when I did the oil the other day to look at the suspension bits and all of the ball joints and bushings look fine. On of the end links in the front was a little stiff but it didn't sound like it was coming from up there.
I read about the strut mounts going bad on 996s and potentially people are saying it sounds like this? I've also heard sway bars put mind were connected and looked OK. This car has 72k on the clock. I would have assumed that the fronts would've gone first over rears and I cannot verify if the fronts were ever done. Again, it sounds like it's coming from right under the driver's seat more than anything.
Thoughts?

Got it thanks. I'm pretty certain it's drivers side rear. Just a little surprised that it's not the fronts that wore out first, however I cannot verify yet that the fronts have been done.
Did you just replace the strut bearing and bump stops? Did you rebuild the whole strut?
The big problem with the strut mounts/bearings is that you can't see anything until you take them apart. If they're the original stock mounts and bearings, at 72K mi. the chances are pretty high that they're going or have gone bad. The upside is that they're not particularly expensive (unless you have a C4)... Good luck
Understood. What are the "while you are in there" parts that you replace on the strut before putting it back in? I'd like to go in there once. And I'd like to note, this car handles far better than anything I've ever driven, so I don't need some crazy strut package for the track. This things a Cab. I was assuming it was just the strut mount and bump stop, but if there is anything else I need to rebuild this thing let me know. I'll do both sides.
Thanks
can someone confirm that you cannot buy just the bearing in the rear strut mount and that you need to buy the entire mount -
