Miatas don't have struts. They use coil sprngs over shock absorbers at all four corners.

Do you need to use the strut mount with certain struts?

Mazda Miatas do not have struts (they use shocks), so the braces that go across the engine bay are not absolutely necessary or beneficial as they would be with vehicles that have a strut setup. Shock tower bars on Miatas do tend to add rigidity, but there is a very mixed consensus by Miata enthusiasts on whether they offer a lot of value on Miatas.


Does a 1999 Toyota Camry have front end struts or shocks?

Struts.


How do you know if your front shocks are gone on your 1995 Intrepid and how do you replace them?

It has Struts and not shocks. If the car is bouncing or floating whenever you hit a dip in the road, or seems to handle poorly, these are signs of worn struts. A leak in one of the struts is also a sign of a bad strut. Mileage is another factor. Struts today will last a long time, but if the car has over 100,000 miles, then more than likely the struts need replacing. As to replacing them, unless you have the proper tools and knowledge, take it to a pro. Serious injury can occur when replacing struts, if you don't know what you are doing.
