Re: Strut and/or strut mounts???

First of all it would help to know the mileage of the car. If you are nearing 100,000 miles I would change out everything with Monroe Quick Struts. They are a 1 piece strut, spring, strut mount assembly and all the rubber boots and insulators. I used them on the rear of my 98 Camry to solve a rattling problem. It's kind of a shotgun approach to the rattling problem, but if you are nearing 100,000 miles, all the parts in the strut assembly have considerable wear anyway. It will also be a bit less labor, as the tech does not have to disassemble anything. He just removes the old strut assemblies and bolts in the new strut assemblies. Expect to pay about $200 a side for the strut assemblies, plus labor. You will also need an alignment after replacing the front struts or any of the parts in the assembly. I'm not affiliated with Monroe; just a satisfied user. YMMV.

Mike
