Do we have rear strut mounts? Also, Bilstein pricing?

Curious if we have replaceable rear strut mounts, I forgot, but I am thinking we do not. The reason I ask is that I have a lot of rattling going on, and I am thinking it's just my less-than glamorous Konis being crap! So I just want to know if I should order a full set of Bilsteins or just fronts for now.

On that note, where is the best place to order Bilsteins?

Thanks!

no, the top mount is welded onto the body, and the bottom is part of the axle(if you want to call it that)

Try your bushings/bearings...more likely than the Konis themselves.

Check for loose bolts on the bottom and especially the top. I learned that the tops can't be tightened until the bottom is in place otherwise the shocks will work themselves loose.

My rubber mounts weren't welded at all. I could remove them fairly easily.
