That's what I meant. I thought that was a reasonable course of action and the first thing I tried too before realizing the strut assembly needed rebuilding.

Worth a shot.

Yeah, just rebuilt the entire front end on the wife's diesel at 154000 miles after the bearing/sleeve on the strut mount finally completely tore away. Foam bushings were shot already. Cost for everything, including upper wishbones, was a little under $700. I can only imagine what a dealer would charge to do it.
