Struts wear out on a car because they tend to rust. A person that does a lot of winter driving will probably have to replace struts in a car once while it is owned, if kept for a long time.


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.

no the struts don't need to come off but make sure you have a way to compress the springs when you go to put it back together. when i say no they don't need to come off i mean completely off but the bottom needs to disconnect from the spindle.


How do you adjust front end to stop your wheels from rubbing against the metal that protects the front shock?

Im not sure if you have an adjustable front end if you replaced the front struts or not, or if you went with a bigger tire size. Either or I would recommend that you go with the manufactorers specs or go to your local tire shop and ask them what tire size is suitable with your car.


What does it mean when both front tires spin but the back tires dont?

Probably means you have a "front wheel" drive car....your front tires are what make your car go, not the back. I have front wheel drive on my car and once on a rainy day...my front wheels spun out taking off from a stop sign...wierd! I hate front wheel drive cars!
