Shock Mount Broken - probably best to replace struts also V70-XC70 1998

I think your mechanic is being cautious and smart. Much of your cost is labor, so once he has dismantled the front end, go ahead and replace the struts also. You did not say what the mileage of your car is, but 60, 70, or 80,000 miles is good life for a strut. DEFINITELY REPLACE BOTH SIDES. As for cost, I can't comment. Ask him what kind of struts he is getting. Consider if you want to upgrade to Bilstein or Koni. Good luck.
