It has been proven that a certain strut that was supplied by some venders in the past caused the mounts to bend on some cars because it was too long when the door closed. If the anchor for your strut is bending it is not a good thing. Some of the venders sell a reenforcement bracket that you can install. Make sure then strut is not overstressing the mounts when the door is closed, if so replace it. David Teitelbaum vin 10757 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "C. C.
