Strut Mount Issues

[marc's325ic]

I think my strut mount is worn out. There seems to be a whole lot of play when I pull on the top of the tire or on the coil. Would I run the risk of anything coming apart if I keep drving it till I fix it? Everything seems to be held together securely still.

It probably wont fall apart if it's just getting a bit sloppy. You'll hear it crashing over bumps in the road long before it falls apart. Been there, done that. :)

my front left feels like that.

im replacing the control arms and all bushings.

Your outer ball joints (on tie rod end and on CA's) may also be a factor....
