How to install a upper motor mount or touque strut on a 2006 Buick lurcene

SOURCE: 2005 Ford 500 with broken torque strut. How to replace?

Go to a reputable (non dealership) shop and get a second opinion. Unless there was some sort of collision damage, I think it would be very unlikely that the part has gone bad. The only thing that strut does is limit the radial movement of the engine when you are revving the engine. Under normal conditions it should not get a lot of wear and tear. If the part needs to be replaced, you should be able to find it at RockAuto.com or other online part supplier for a fraction of the dealer price.

Yes there is a bearing on the front stuts on the top under the upper strut mount and it is plastic. But the last guy was right it is most likely your struts, or it is your stabilizer links. There doesn't have to be much play in the links to make a tonne of noise. I replaced all my struts myself and it solved the problem for me. You can buy fully assembled strut kits for most veh so you don't have to compress the spring...just dont loosen fully the top middle large bold on top of the strut lol.

Yes but if its making noise and the mounts are near new their installed wrong or the struts are bad they make noise when their worn out

the struts are very easy to pull off the car, but as to taking the strut apart that is best left to a professional, it requires very expensive special strut cartridge installing fixtures

You will need to rent a spring compressor or borrow one from advance auto parts. The access ports are usually in the back of the car, some have plastic caps over them usually about 6 inches square and some you have to take the inside trim panel off in the car to gain access. Do not attempt to take the struts out without a spring compressor or you will get hurt as the springs are under a lot of pressure so when un bolted without the proper tool they can come apart and you will for sure need a stich or two.
