Should I replace them along with my new struts? I have 144K on this POS. I'm thinking I should, found a shop that will charge $45 for each one.

What's the best store to get them from ($$ is a factor). Do we get any discounts at WBS Store?

Thanks.

Rock Auto had Monroe Strut Mounts for $105/all four and they arrived next day. Get the part numbers off Monroe's website and then search at www.rockauto.com/

You should always replace your strut mounts when doing new struts. especially with that kind of milage.

Yes, or you will put on your new struts and start to have them create a popping noise.

at 140k, you need new everything...springs, struts, strut mounts, etc...

My car is at 125k and its starting to feel like crap and Im already on my second set from about 50k miles ago.

Thinking about putting on a 3rd set on soon.

Thanks, The shop has to do some more suspension work, sounds like I have a broken bar on the front right side? So I'm hoping I can get a better price.

I can't find "Strut Mounts" on there, strut bearings and such but no mounts. I'll take a look at the rockauto site. Thanks

Wow a third one already! I know my suspension needed to be changed years a go, I just never made my mind up about it, thought of selling it and getting another. But now I'm trying to get it running nice and smooth and if I ever find another (better) GTP I might just keep both and have the old one as the daily driver.

902973 STRUT-MATE BEARING PLATE 902973 (front)
902969 STRUT-MATE BEARING PLATE 902968 (rear)

Bearing plate and mount are the same thing.
