Default Strut Mounts
Changing the shocks next week and I'm going to go ahead and get the mounts while I'm at it just in case.I was thinking about using Moog from Advance Auto,unless somebody has other opinions? Also,does anyone know the part# for the shock nut on top?

Moog mounts are the best bet. Also your new shocks should come with a new nut

Gabriel's are terrible, bolts are not as good as Napa, for instance. GM mounts seem to be the consensus...

I used the Moog mounts and they worked great and seemed identical to the stock pieces.

I was told to use Moog or Monroe. I believe I got Monroe parts when I rebuilt my front assemblies this year. They are both around the same price.
