Have you had to replace your strut mounts?

I have replaced just the fronts on mine, right after i swapped out the struts. They were dry rotted and one side was making a clonking noise.

It will require you unbolting the front anti sway bar endlinks and disassembling the strut/shocks from the springs. It's gonna require a little bit of work to swap them out. If you have a spring compressor, it will make your life a lot easier.

Two quick question on the strut mounts.
1. Are the front and rears identical? It seems all the aftermarket strut mounts say they are the same. However, when I go to TascaParts.com, they have two different prices: $26.99 for rear and $33.21 for the front. Are the motorcrafts specific to front/rear? If not, should I be able to save a few dollars and get the "rears". There is no part # listed that I can see of on TascaParts, so if any one has the correct part # that would be appreciated.
2. I know that you are supposed to mark how the spring lines up on the old strut mount to make sure it seats correctly when putting the mount on. Any tips/techniques when replacing the mount?
