Strut Replacement Question
I was just wondering if it is necessary to replace the strut mount when replacing the struts? Have done a search on replacing struts and others have not mentioned anything about it. Also, does anyone know what "brand" the OEM struts and shocks are?

Hopefully will tackle this when the weather warms up.

You dont have to replace the strut mount.
BMWs used Bilstein and Sachs ,on X5 they used Bilstein.

So is it a mixture of Sachs front, Bilstein rears or Bilstein on all four corners?
