Hey - not sure how long they will be available, but Partsgeek.com has the front shock mounts in stock for $106 each... I just ordered a pair from them for $221 shipped and they appear to still have stock >25 available... hopefully this doesn't violate forum policy but I just thought I would share the info as they never seem to last too long...

Is there some "easy" way to tell if you need front shock mounts? I have had this bump noise for quite a while now and had some bushings replaced by a local mechanic but noise is still there. I was going to suggest to him to check the shock mounts but does it take as much effort to check them versus just replace them?

Sorry guys, I just bought the last two they had left in stock. They re-order these fairly quickly (within a week or two of selling out), so don't despair.
On the subject of rebuilding these shock mounts, does anyone know of a source for the components that wear out in these? It appears that, save for inserting three rivets in each mount, all one would need is the cushioning material to be able to refurbish any worn mounts. I'd like to give this a try, but I don't know if there's a manufacturer that offers a 'rebuild' kit.

I just checked and they still said they had 25+ in stock...
I know I need new ones because I can see them breaking apart (like red dust) all around where the shocks are mounted under the hood on each side over the wheels...

Doug - look at the top of the mounts - you will see a reddish dust as the foam insert between the plates disintegrates and eventually the front end drops about 1/2inch. Mine also made a nice constant chirp.
CoventryCars - Welsh and I believe PartsGeek both sell repair kits but from what Rev Sam said - the kit was not worth the effort.
