    New strut mounts

    Hi guys, so my front shock mounts are blown and I'm in need of new one. I'm deciding if I should get the ones from autohausaz : http://www.autohausaz.com/search/pro.../Strut%20Mount Or from northside imports which is in san diego and I can just go pick them up. They are 29 from autohauzas and 38 I believe from northside. Which one do you guys recommend I buy from? I know northside is OEM because that's where most of the dealers buy their parts from. Doing this from my phone so sorry for the mess ups. Thanks guys! Also when replacing the shock mounts do I need to buy any other parts for the replacement or just the strut mount? I know the rears need a gasket so that got me thinking. Thanks guys!

    the front mounts have bearings inside and will need to be greased. Pick up some wheel bearing grease for that. You will want a new nylon locknut for the center strut nut or at least use loctite. Just remember how the washers are arranged. I cant think of anything else.

            Haven't bought them in a while, but I thought they came greased?
