Before I replaced the strut mounts I jacked up the car and checked for free play by moving the wheel at the 12/6 o'clock position and other positions. I couldnt feel any free play. The height of the car at the front is correct. The car doesnt bounce driving over bumps etc. The shocks are not leaking. There was no coating on the strut mounts. The crack described in the original thread looks like a deep gash 2" long. I have to find out why they cracked after two day before I replace them again.
I have serviced and maintained this car for nearly 19 years. It has 360k on the odometer. Engine runs perfect. Always used Mobil Oil since day one of ownership. No vibration at any speed.
The only complaint I have about this car is the oil leak at the bottom of the chain cover. That has been fixed twice since I owned the car, and its due again. This seems to be a chronic problem on this engine.
Thanks again for the help.
