Replacing strut mounts
 
Hey folks,

Anyone want to give me a quick run down on the procedure? Do I need an alignment after?

Thanks

It pretty simple once you remove the whole strut itself. How do you know the strut mount is bad? I think ull need a front end alignment or 4wheel.

I would suggest getting an alignment if its been awhile. If you have that guide screw still installed on the mount than it will probably go back to the way it was before you did the install, but just get it anyways

aight thanks. i'll get an alignment...
as to how I know they're bad....if you've ever heard a bad one, they have a pretty distinct sound that occurs when the struts compresses and rebounds. Everything else in the front end is new...so...doesn't leave a whole lot left ;-)
