My son's 850 will be home for a weekend soon and I plan to replace the struts. The front creaks going over any bump at all or if just pushing down on the front of the car. Also it shutters/vibrates a bit on bumpy roads - the ride is nothing like my wife's 850 so I know something is not right.

I see a lot of posts talk about replacing the strut mounts and/or strut mount bushings? Which one do I need to do? I'd like to have all the parts on hand for a Saturday project but of course don't want to replace expensive parts that are ok.

Do I need new bolts or can I use existing? What else do I need other than

(front) struts
strut mount bushings

(rear) shocks

Thinking Bilstein Touring Class - want a sporty ride but don't want to have my teeth rattled out.

Thanks for the help,

Terry
