Three years on your shelf, probably another year on FCPs shelf, makes those rubber pieces 4+ years old and a little dry.

This time, before you remove the struts, use a sharp pencil and scribe around the bottom mount so that when you put them back they will still be aligned. Might save a trip to the alignment shop.
Also, go to the dealer and get 4 new OEM nuts/bolts. They are NOT reusable after proper torquing. The FCP bolts are thinner than OEM.
