I have a 97 850. I have seperation between the strut and either the bushing or the strut mount, but from the pictures of the parts online I can't tell which it is. When looking at the top of the strut from within the engine compartment the bolting nut for the the strut is attached to a piece of plastic that is NOT attached to what either appears to be the mount or the bushing. Has anyone purchased these before and figured out which piece is which. The bushing is approximately 30 dollars and the mount is approximately 110. The mount appears to contain the bearing and bolts etc to attach to the body at the top of the well. The bushing just appears to be a piece of plastic at the top of the strut assembly. Any helpful information would be greatly appreceiated. This question has been asked previously in the archives, but I couldn't find an answer that delineated which part was the culprit.
