Am replacing my front struts on my 2002 Max in conjunction with changing my front bearings and hubs. Is it totally necessary to replace the strut mounts and if so why? What exactly fails with the mounts or changes requiring replacement?

But aside from the struts, mounts, and boots and bumpstops, what else should I replace while I am in there? In other words, what else at 135K is worn or soon to be worn necessitating replacement or service?

Thanks.

front struts: replace the strut mount, replace the bearing, replace the dust boot... make sure you align the mount with the "outside" word on the strut and you will be good to go...
