Should I replace strut mounts?
I'm in the process of getting new springs/struts. My '02 Max has 53K miles on it. Do you guys recommend I buy new strut mounts while I'm at it?

Your kind of at the tipping point where mounts may start to be cracking... I'm at 42k on my car and my mounts looked great.. I am in CA and predict an older couple had my car first, so less wear than a Midwest/Northeast car driven by a yute.
