Question Strut mounts???where can I find them

I am getting some Drop Zone springs for my car and it already has 198k miles on it.. Where can I find some strut mounts at a good price?? I havent found any on Summit or SLP I just dont want to re-use the originals since i'm replacing the springs and will have everything apart..

I'm used to replacing strut bushings on the Volkswagens and Audi's I work on every day so I figured the Z28 would have strut bushings as well but all I found is "strut mount" if thats what I need cool.. but where is a good place to get.

Thanks, Thomas

Your local auto supply should have them as well as the dealer.

4th gens don't have "struts".

If I dont have struts then why does SLP offer pull off struts from 93-97 camaros all day.. Pretty sure its not a shock like in the rearend of the car.

It does not have struts in the front; they are mislabeled as struts because the spring mounts on the shock similar to a strut.

A front suspension with struts does not use an upper a-arm; F-Bodies have upper a-arms.

Well then, i apollogize for how I worded everything.. I stand corrected and they sure do look just like a strut but you are correct we do have upper a-arms. Mybad

Lots of replacement part companies call them struts, too. Don't be embarrassed.

Look for shock mount and insulator.
