If your rear strut mount is not in good condition, it can lead to a range of issues including poor handling, increased tire wear, and excessive noise or vibrations while driving. A damaged mount may also compromise the strut's ability to absorb shocks effectively, resulting in a rougher ride. Additionally, if left unaddressed, it can lead to more significant suspension problems and potential safety hazards. Regular inspection and timely replacement are essential to maintain vehicle performance and safety.
What else can I help you with?
Would you explain to me what a bad back strut is?
Basically a strut is a combination shock absorber and spring. There are used mostly on unibody cars to support the weight of the cars (spring) and dampen road shock (absorber). If the back strut is bad, then the gas inside has started to get past the rubber seal of the strut. Less gas means less compression, less compression means less dampening. This will lead to more wear on just about every other part of the car. Sometimes struts break, or the mount can go bad. It is a good idea to replace the mount at the same time as the strut.

It depends on when you hear that noise. If it happens when you are driving on not a good road then you just need to tighten the strut nuts. It helped in my case.
How do you remove and replace a front strut on 97 Nissan Sentra GXE?
Remove the bolt on the botton of the Strut. Detach the steering Knuckle. Remove the three nuts on top and remove the strut from the car. Do not try and disamble the strut without a spring compresor. Get a whole new strut. Good luck

How do you replace the front struts on a 1995 Saturn SL1 and do you recommend replacing anything else in that area while you are in it?
The front struts are held in by (3) nuts under the hood and (2) bolts that hold them to the wheel bearing knuckles. If you have access to a 1/2" pnuematic impact wrench the removal process will take about 5 minutes per strut. You will need a strut spring compression tool to compress the spring and remove the strut mount. I recommend replacing the strut mounts when you replace the struts as the are a wear item. Removing the nut that hold the strut to the strut mount will require a box wrench and a 6mm Allen wrench, put the box wrench on the nut and use the Allen wrench to turn the strut rod. This is also easily removed by the 1/2" pnuematic impact wrench. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. You will need to have a wheel alignment performed when you are done as the cast/camber of you tires will be off and will cause severe tire wear. Good Luck
