: also, anyone have a spare upper strut mount for front right side (passenger side)?
: I'm gonna replace the upper strut mount for the right front of my car. When we did the suspension install a while back, one of the 3 bolts came loose so we used another bolt in it's place that was not pressed in like the other two. I've started to get some noise from the front right side of teh car and think it may have something to do with this (and I should have done it right in the first place, but didn't have time when we were doing it).
: I'm gonna look around at some junkyards and see if I can find one. I dont wanna go through the hassle of using spring compressors and all that if I dont need to. If it's at the junkyard and I dont care about anything on the car besides that upper mount, would this work?
: Just remove the center strut bolt on the top and not loosen the 3 mounting ones. Then when it loosened up, the strut would be pushed down pretty hard (watch my toes), but it would just be shooting it into the ground. Then I could just remove the 3 bolts up top and get my strut mount.
: Just a hopeful idea, but not sure if it would actually work or not. (Ngthing said it would :) j/k)
