Since I'm swapping out my struts I think it maybe wise to swap the mounts out also? Where can I get strut mounts fairly cheap? Can I get them at Autozone or is their a better brand I should get?

What exactly are the strut mounts and why would we need to replace them. I am getting new shocks soon and I have alot of squeaking in the front right shock area, this have anything to do with it?

I recommend that you check them for wear before thinking about replacing them. If the bearings are tight and quiet, they should be good to go. I don't know if you can get them aftermarket or not. The best way to find out is to price shop.

Well I just brought car to dealership to swap out one strut, they also swapped the strut mount on that 1 strut. But they overtightened it severely and I am hearing the same rumbling sound that I heard in the first place. When I first got the car back it was very quiet and now it can be heard again. I'm about to swap springs out and figured I should just swap springs while I'm at it because I figure stock struts may only last a month or so before they go with the new springs. So I'm just going to swap the whole set up and get it aligned once.
