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.

∙ 13y agoThis is a job that will require cutting and welding skills. Go to a salvage yard and cut out a strut tower that is not rusted then weld it into your car. This is most easily accomplished with the engine from your car removed. It will be necessary to remove your strut and mount of course. You will want to remove the wheel so you dont damage the tire with sparks. Other safety considerations are fuel lines, any electrical equipment that runs near the welding area and remember to disconnect your battery before welding on your car.

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.
Why does my rear driver-side tire make a rattling noise when going over a bump or rough roads could it be worn out bearings and is that an easy fix?
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.

What is a Front Strut Brace?
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".
