Thumbs up Front Strut Mount from Advance Auto Parts

Best buy I've seen in a while. Picked this up toady from Advance Auto Parts.

Monroe front strut mount with a lifetime replacement warranty and it was in stock.

$28.98 + tax!

Any good How-to's for this out there?

Includes everything. The yellow ring is the bearing.

I have them in my rears and they're great. I had Gabriel's in my front since they didn't have the Monroes in the front either. Both work great and I couldn't be happier.

Installed mine today, piece of cake with the right tools. Had to borrow some spring compressors, but other than that it went very smoothly.

It is kinda easy when you already have the springs compressed while on the car to lock on the compressors and then just top swap the mount and then unloosen the compressors and walla...........done!

Excellent work sir

I took the strut completely out, but I was doing other things anyway.
