im going to change the strut mounts whenever i get around to installing some new shocks/springs. its not necessary but they can wear out and start squeeking. i guess it just depends on how many miles you have, and whether or not you want to spend another $100

I assume you mean the upper front shock isolator assembly. I have had to replace a few generally on high mileage cars where corrosion becomes an issue. Otherwise you should be fine. If the car is a dd and you live in any kind of corrosive enviroment put some antisieze on the shock tenon where it goes into the isolator.
