Use a wrench and twist it sideways (think horizontal plane). Don’t try to loosen or tighten the nut. Just try to twist the whole strut basically not loosen the nut. Even if the strut mount is in good shape it should twist a little. If it moves easily the strut mount is shot. You’ll see what I mean...

When you turned the wheel all the perhaps you tightened up/took up slack in the cracked rubber in the mount by moving it? Don’t know.

Unlike some cars, it is hard to see the rubber on a 240 mount. If you can actually see cracks in the rubber then you’ll know it’s toast.
