You don't "have" to, but I HIGHLY recommend it. As well as front mount bearings. KYB is a good brand.

^ Squeeking tends to be the Sway Bar bushings more often. So if you have that on yours, check that out too.

Somebody on this forum claimed removing the top strut nut and forcing grease and penetrating oil in cured his rattle. I'm sure it would temporarily, if say the bearing is shot. Guess it's worth a try if you did the struts without replacing mounts.
