Upper Strut Bearings?
So, I am having the suspension refreshed soon (new shocks, control arms, swaybar bushings) and wondering if it makes sense to have the upper strut mounts done at the same time?
Anyone care to chime in?
Thanks,
~ Bill

follow up on the install
i replaced the upper strut mount bearings yesterday and they were toast after 70k amg miles.
did it in a professional shop with everything necessary and while the task was not complicated it was far from easy
some kind of strut compressor is required and
i suggest you get new boots as well. not a job just for those...
my front sway bar bushings were fused to the bar
