Can Strut Mounts Break

In some cars, strut mounts can last for the lifetime of a vehicle, while in others they are known to fail sooner. It also depends on the quality of the roads. Potholes and speed bumps can cause many parts of the suspension, including strut mounts, to wear faster.

Can you drive with a broken strut bolt?

You should be fine to drive the car like it is. Just don’t go off roading or start ‘tightening’ the other bolts and you’re fine. You could probably drive it like that for the rest of the year and be ok.

How much does it cost to replace strut mounts?

Replacing a strut mount will cost you somewhere in the range of $120 to $250 total (parts & labor). The strut mount itself will only cost around $40 to $100 in parts.
