Question About Strut Replacement Parts

[John Martin]

I am going to replace my struts. Three additional parts are listed, and I have some questions about which is what.

Strut Mount -- metal plate with bolts to secure the strut. I assume that this part seldom needs replacement.

Strut Bearing -- metal bearing that goes over the top end of the strut. Is this correct, does it need to be replaced?

Strut Bearing Seat -- this appears to be the part that needs replacement. Does this need to be replaced or just checked?

Anything else that needs to be replaced? Are new bolts necessary?

Thanks,

JM
