Pro Tip Replace mounts with struts; they're cheap. Clunking = bad mount, not bad strut.
🚗 Vehicle-Specific Notes
Honda
3 x 12mm nuts on top in engine bay. Buy complete quick-strut to include mount.
Toyota
3 nuts on top. Replace mount + bearing plate together. Cheap parts, big impact.
Ford
3 top nuts. Quick-strut assemblies include mount. Easier than compressing spring.
BMW
Front thrust bearings are common failure. Clunking noise. Replace with strut.
Subaru
3 top nuts inside engine bay. Rear: access from hatch area. Replace with struts.
Hyundai
3 top nuts. Very common clunking cause. Always replace with strut assembly.
