Hi everybody!

Finally got around to replacing the rear struts. Great spring compressor tool made it super easy and safe.

Anyway, the strut mounts look fine and I’d prefer not to drop $150 apiece for new OEM and seems aftermarket are not recommended by folks.

As far as I know they’re original with 250K miles on them.

Am I being cheap and shortsighted? Anything I should look for to suggest they’re actually damaged?

I just dropped new bearings in, have been fine ever since. I'd keep them going if the rubber isn't torn and they aren't flexing excessively when you steer.

90903-63014 x2 (Bearing)

48619-08010 x2 (Might fit too if you want something cheaper, it crossref to the newer bearing but still shows as a part)

Thanks for the part numbers and all, I was able to look them up.

I don’t see a bearing though and one didn’t fall out somewhere. Here’s some pics, Am I not seeing it?

Looks like a rear strut mount? Those don't have a bearing like the fronts. Also the bearing is directional the red / concex side faces up

Yes, asking about rear mounts, thanks. Front strut change out is next week, so thanks again.

OMG I'm so glad I found this site. It has been a LIFE SAVER. Wish I would have found it before replacing all the struts and strut mounts. But figured do them all while it's already torn apart.
