Hello,
I just had a quick question when installing a strut assembly. It is suggested to change the strut mounts when putting in a new pair of struts, but how about all the other parts like the bearings, spring seat, rubber, etc....? I had a price check on all the parts and the cost came out to $180. I think the rubber inside the spring seat is important to change too, as are also the bearings.

Any advise from the experienced DIYs?

Thank you.
