Re: Strut Mounts

The job is DIY. Major tool needed is the strut spring compressor which can be rented from Autozone. We had our driver's side done under warranty on the Alero. It was a creaking-rubber on rubber type sound. The strut mount starting acting up on my brother's Grand Am GT. We took it apart and lubed the upper strut mounts and load bearing with silicone grease like for polyurethane bushings. Put it back together and no noise. Even the alignment came out good.
