upper strut mount question

I have had some really weird noises coming from the passenger front side of my car. I just replaced my whole suspension with coilovers and kyb agx's. the repair guys said it was loose upper strut mount. Is that hard to fix? how do I do it?

I agree on the KYB products. I used the KYB strut mounts, and I even bought the KYB dust booots and strut mounts. I HIGHLY recommend NOT using any KYB products other than the AGXs and the dust boots. The OEMs seem to be better quality, and aren't that much different in price either.
