Replacing struts...questions
So I'm replacing all four struts and had a few questions. I'm just going to replace the OEM ones with the KYB GR2s, nothing crazy. The car is my dad's DD now so it will stay a stock car.
The car has about 147k miles on it now. When I replace the struts, should I replace the strut mounts as well? Will they be in bad shape? They go for under $10 each from Amazon (with free shipping too), so they will cost under $40 for all four. Just wondering if I even need to pay this cost.
Another question, anyone know the torque specs for the shock mounting bolts? I definitely need this...thanks!
