Default Shock mounts

Looking to change out my shocks next week, should I also look at replacing my shock mounts? Are the mounts for all 4 corners?

Rear shock mounts should come with the new shocks. The front mounts might need to be replaced, mine had 120k miles on them and the rubber was all dry rotted and they were stuck to the old shocks.

I'd suggest just getting new ones for the front if your car is higher mileage

Dry rotted rubber, or really compressed rubber, or if they are stuck on the shocks themselves.

I guess I can just order any brand shock mounts?

I was going to get the KYBs from oreillys but I honestly don't think the brand matters much. I think the Moogs are about $100 per side and the KYBs are $60 per side
