OK Here's the funny thing. I just spent a five hundred to replace my strut mounts and inserts....and NOW it squeaks! I think it's a problem with the KYB strut insert??? Any comments here?
Oh and it's easy to spot a bad strut mount. Look at the center shaft while you move the steering wheel. You'll see plenty of movement within the mount if it's bad. Sometimes the stud is actually off center even at rest....the rubber will be all buggered up....and you may actually see a small dent in the hood from where the strut stud is hitting underneath. Also that unmistakeable Klunk! Klunk! sound is a dead giveaway.
