Shocks and strut mounts March 15, 2017, 04:36:31 PM Did my 86 Cougar OE strut mounts Motorcraft have bearings? My question is if I replace my strut mounts with ones that have bearings will that change the way my car drives handles, I want to keep the OE feel squishy and soft. I know this has been talked about somewhere but not specifically about bearing mounts/verses non bearing mounts, please help I want to fix my ride. Quote Selected

If you are not going to lower it and it is well within the factory alignment specs now then you can get the factory replacements and go on down the road. Quote Selected
