Title: Front Struts
Post by: Zuki-Girl on March 31, 2010, 02:33:16 PM
95 Sidekick 4x2 if when changeing the front struts and the spacer comes out of the rubber mount do I need new upper mounts?

Yes, if that fell out it means that the mount is torn up and broken.

Ok thanks. I managed to get them in for now until the new ones get here from Advance Auto. After looking at the passenger side better I see that rubber was in good shape actually and it was my fault that they ripped,the sleeve being froze to the upper strut shaft. But the new ones are coming so I guess these will be ok for a few days. Think So?

I wouldn't trust it.  When you go over a bump the strut can just fall out the bottom.  :D

It would bend up that slotted hex washer on the top that easy?
