If you mean the strut is rusted out, the new one is a complete asbly. Just keep the spring. If you mean the top of the frame on the car,where the strut bolts up to, and if the car is worth it, then a good body shop can fix this.
they are a pain in the butt, you have to diconnect the strut mounting bolts on the strut tower and lower control arm, and you will need a 17mm Allen wrench sears carries them good luck
Although there is a snap ring retaining the bearing, you will need to take the strut to a mechanic and have the bearing pressed out. If you take out the three bolts on the top of the strut tower, and disconnect the ball joint at the bottom, you won't have to worry about throwing the alignment out.
Assuming something isn't broke it is more likely the strut that is worn out. Bearing would grind all the time. When the strut is worn out and you go over a bump the tire will leave the ground which lets it vibrate and make noise.
The ECM is located under the coolant reserve tank and mounted to the front of the strut tower. Only a single nut holds it in place. once you remove the nut simply pull it out.
should b bolts in engine compartment and then 1 bolt on bottom of strut make sure to use spring compressors and u will probably need heat for lower bolt dont worry about the smoke there is a rubber bushing in there u get a new one with new strut
There is a recall on this vehicle for strut tower rot
To fix a rotted window frame, you can start by removing the rotted wood using a chisel and sandpaper. Then, apply wood filler to the damaged area and sand it smooth. Finally, prime and paint the frame to protect it from future damage.
It is located under the hood on the passenger side. Look on the front side of strut tower, it is mounted on the strut tower.

To fix rotted wood, you can start by removing the rotted parts using a chisel or saw. Then, treat the remaining wood with a wood hardener to strengthen it. Finally, fill in any holes or gaps with wood filler and sand the area smooth before painting or staining.

A strut brace, a.k.a. strut tower brace or strut bar, is a simple bar bolted to the top of two opposing strut towers. It ties them together to form a more rigid single unit. It is often found as standard equipment on higher-end vehicles. A car's strut towers normally flex during hard cornering or when hitting a bump, some say up to a quarter of an inch. This flexing can cause traction loss as well as some rattles. The strut tower brace distributes the pressure applied to one strut tower to both towers keeping the suspension settings the way the engineers designed them. This should improve handling, tire wear and metal fatigue is minimized in the strut tower portion. When asked about suspension modifications, Larry Nissen (a BMW Tech) said. "I would start with a good strut brace, it may help the handling a little now but where you will get your money back is three years down the road when your car is still as tight as it is now".
there is a sticker on your strut tower...my 88 is 8 degrees
