Front and Rear Strut Mounts....

[billytheman1188]

Since im going to be doing the suspension after the brakes are on i want to do it the right way the first time....

I have the H&R Springs with KYB struts and the urethane bushing kit for the control arms.... i was thinking i should do the strut mounts too but after doing some research its hard to tell what i need.... i found a good site with a bunch of different stuff here is it..... http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?carcode=1382194&parttype=7600&partkey=503299&a=FRc1382194k503299-936858


WHAT DO I GET!? lol.... there are several ones for the front and rear...IDK if there are multiple mounts i need to replace or just one? please help!! lol

well, have you tested your current mounts? or have you heard creaking when you steer at low speeds

ive heard creaking in the rear a couple times....my car has 106k on it and i know things wear out over time so if the fronts might go in the near future i wanna get them done now while im getting an alignment and the suspension worked on....

well, front at napa run 57.99 per side, rears 41.99 per side

I say go for the acdelco or kyb one....

[billytheman1188]

so there is only 1 strut mount needed for the front? Like 1 for each side.... i didnt know if there was an upper and lower....

[guiguilandry]

yep one on the top of each shock, 2 in the front 2 in the rear

[billytheman1188]

alright guys....been a while now since i had them put on.....and i get sounds from it when i take sharp turns at like 5-10 mph....or slower.....it seems like it might be the strut mounts....BUT i had them replaced when i did the springs and struts....what im thinking is they might have used a cheaper kind of mount....its hard to describe the sound....but its like a creaking sound....OH YEA....it does it most if i go in reverse kinda quick....so i dont back up fast...not fast but like 5 mph...idk lol. i found KYB strut mounts which i wanna get if thats the issue....but i also see there are "front upper and lower coil spring insulator"....wtf is that? lol. Anybody have the KYB strut mounts? prob the best available for our cars right? Thanks for any helps boys!

You can try lithium grease on the mounts. it might make it quiet for awhile.

are front strut bars for grand am compatible with alero?

[zearchyo]

they should be, alero and gran am are basically the same car.
