Default upper strut mounts breaking

alright my upper strut mounts on my car broke once before and i replaced them with duralast ones from autozone. they came with the life time replacement so i mean its not that big of a deal for me to replace it. Anyways i was just wondering if anyone else had problems with there mounts breaking as well. and is there a way to fix it from breaking.

Wait how are the strut mounts breaking?

If you have a NAPA in your area it might be a good idea to replace them with their brand this time around as they are very close to OEM unlike a lot of the aftermarket made in china crap.

IF your car was in an accident near that location/significant misalignment issues, that may contribute to mount failures as well...

is the car rusty on the underside?, salt eats metal especially the "liquid de-icer" they use on the interstates.... and could be what libertyforall1776 said too.
