    Hello all. I noticed a noise coming from my front end that sounded suspension related. So i popped the hood, grabbed a hold of the car and started shaking. I found that my noise is coming from the drivers side, yet what i saw on the passenger side looks to me like too much free play in the mount . Im thinking replace both strut mounts, but am not sure, which is why im here. The noise on the drivers side i can also produce if i grab a hold of the spring and start tugging back and forth. Below i posted 2 very short video clips of each side. please let me know what you think.. Be sure to have sound on for the drivers side....

    passenger side: Passenger side - YouTube

    When my strut mounts went the most obvious sound was a popping noise everytime i took off from a stop sign. Never noticed the sounds you have in your video.

    so those are bad? mine make that sound, and its more audible than that, as i can hear mine from inside the car. probably from riding on bad struts for a while...always out to sea and no real time to replace them, til now.
