rear strut mounts - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #42678 6 posts Started by eclipse_04a
ok, i went to the shop and they said i need all four struts (no surprise) but also rear strut mounts. what exactly are the strut mounts? what number are they in the sticky topic in the suspension forum? I guess i just want to know more about what i need before i get them. What is a good deal? I dont need performance, stock or equivilant is fine by me. I dont have the money to do anything to my car right now (tuition blows....) but I would like to get them replaced. any good aftermarket alternatives? any help and info is appreciated. Thanks.
They are the top mount plates that bolt up to three points. For example if you open your hood, where the struts bolt up, there are three nuts. it is the same as the rear.
