Replacing broken strut, replace strut mount?

Replacing broken strut, replace strut mount?

Postby mazen222 » Sun May 02, 2010 2:24 pm

My passanger side strut is out and i'm about to replace both the front. I wondering if the shock that the strut mount has received during the last month due to the broken strut has also broke the strut mount rubber, which i had also replaced a few months earlier.

what do you guys suggest?

I would just replace the strut mounts to eliminate any possibility that something is bad
