front strut mounts!

i was just wondering if it is possible to rebuilt the front strut mount without having to replace them?
As everyone else I am in the same boat of replacing my suspension, my front passenger strut is completely empty and I can feel that the driver side is about to go out as well. Since I am trying to rebuilt on a budget has anyone used the "Replacement brand" struts?

I really tempted to give them a try, I have replaced suspension on many of my cars, and now it really doesn't take me more that 30min to do a strut replacement.
My question was is someone has attempted to replace the bearing inside the mount or if there is another way of fixing it?
Thanks!

My BKM with front suspension is if you have 100K replace shocks, boots, strut mounts.

Don't try to salvage strut mounts, they are expensive $40/piece but getting the OEM ones are peace of mind. And if you replaced all of them in one shot, you don't have to think about it for another 100K by then the vehicle is anyway shot!!!
