Hey all I'm about to order some KYB strut mounts (car is lowered w/ 130,000 miles, mounts never changed). But here's a dumb question - do they come in pairs or sold one each?

Every site I see they don't mention if they come in pairs, so I don't know if I should place one order or two. Thanks!

 

For that price, I'm sure it's just one.

 

Thanks. Should I get strut bearings as well?

 

the kyb suck bad. get OEM parts only

You might as well replace the strut bearings so you don't have to pay for an alignment if those need replacing later on. Don't see the strut bearings on partznet.com so you might try calling them to see if they have those

 

Alignment? You dont need an alignment if you change struts or mounts. The only thing that you can adjust is toe anyway. No caster or camber adjustments.

 

That is what I was told, and I noticed increased wear pretty fast on my nice and before this incident, very new Yokohama AVS-E100's. An alignment IS needed for the front when you change the struts.

 

Whoever took your money for an alignment after you had struts changed is a crook. Sears tried to do that to me once. Nissan Maximas do not have a caster or camber adjustment from the factory.

The only thing adjustable is the toe. And that is done at the tie rod end.

Unless the struts you buy are bent, or you have a bent control arm, you do not need an alignment.

 

You need alignment for the front (rear can't be aligned), but what ever makes you sleep at night...

"Additionally the vehicle's toe is one of the most critical alignment settings relative to tire wear."

very bad move... order up OEMs from your local dealer!
