In all of my changing of parts on 240s, I've never actually replaced a strut mount. I'm currently restoring my 242GT and the strut mounts in it were fine. I'm replacing many other parts on the car, but when I took the suspension apart, the bearings still turned nicely and the rubber was still how it should be. The metal was surface rusted, so I ground it off and repainted them, but that's it.

I guess my point is that the ORIGINAL ones were stellar and I've heard nothing but problems with the replacement ones, except maybe the Boges. If I do have one go out at some point, I'll just get those. My old 1986 240DL, that I sold with over 350,000 miles on it, still had the original strut tops. I even raced that car some. I replaced every other bit of the suspension, but never had those go bad.

Just my experience, but that might be why so few folks are chiming in on this one.
