Is it recommended to replace struts and strut mounts at the same time on a 99 cutlass with 70000 miles?

You really have to take them lose and look but it's been my experience that the mounts can go before the struts. My Alliance was so bad the upper mounts where totally separated at 150000 but the struts were fine Also, to check the struts themselves w/o removing, go to front of your car, put your hands on the bumper and push the car up and down really fast, then let go. If the car continues to bounce more than 3 times or keeps going for awhile, they are shot.Do the same with the rear.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
