    Afew weeks ago I joined this forum as I was looking for a used GXP. I have since found and purchased my 2008 GXP with 67k on the odometer. My wife and I love the car but one annoying thing...the infamous clunk it has. I have been doing alot of research on this board and found most likely it is the strut mounts. Our GXP seems to have the clunk in the front and rear. After looking up many mounts, there seems to be a VERY W I D E price range on these new mounts. Which ones are the best for a do-it yourself type guy? Anybody on here ever do this fix yourself? Thanks.

    its a 5 bolt job per strut, 3 bolts up top, and 2 on the spindle, after you remove the wheels. any one with a jack and some hand tools can do it.
