OEM Strut Mounting - what all parts?
01 RX300 @ 122K; rattle at least from rear struts, assume the mounting plates. Ride is a little "rolly" and not like a new RX and since I plan to drive the wheels off this vehicle I am planning on doing struts all around.
Amazon - KYB GR-2 struts for ~$93 (free shipping) best I found (kinda suprised here).
Forum recommendation is to use OEM Mounts - QUESTION:
- What parts and components should I replace if putting in mounts all around; do ALL of these parts need to be replaced while I'm in there for $510 + ~400(struts) = $910 total cost?
Thanks - any parts I don't need will reduce cost!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

I know a lot less than most of the members on this board, but I would be inclined to replace any rubber part -- I know it really adds to the cost, though. So far, my daughters shocks/struts are okay, but the rubber bellows part has split on two of them. I wish I could find a two-piece one to replace the rubber thing without removing the strut.
Good luck, and be careful!
