REAR Shock mounts ...should i replace them?
REAR Shock mounts ...should i replace them?
Car has close to 100k miles.
I am about to replace stock struts/shocks with Tokico Illumina and keep the OEM springs.
I know that i should replace the FRONT strut mount and strut bearings.
My question is, is it a good idea to also replace the REAR shock mounts? Do these go bad with high mileage?
I don't think that my Front or Rear mounts are currently bad (and they may be reusable) however, based on your experience with cars that have 100k+ miles on, should i replace these parts while i am doing the struts/shocks?
What about the rubber strut "bellows"? The stock ones "look" fine but i am not sure how much they have left in them.
Thanks!
