Rear upper strut mount problems. Please help

[talon1997420a]

okay i was on my way home from columbus today and i was on an overpass that i know is covered in potholes and so i was trying to dodge them and i hit one and the passenger rear strut went through the mount. i have pictures but they arent very good i just want you to know what i'm talking about. right now i'm very low on funds and from what i hear this is a dealer only part and advanced auto, autozone, and napa all do not have it. well the chrysler dealer here in marysville can get it in but its $62 a piece and they cannot get any in til late next week or early the week after. does anybody know where i can get this part? i cant wait that long to get it as this car is my only way to and from work and school. anybody who knows please help me

I would say jnz tuning but you would get it late next week as well. If worse comes to worse you can go to the local salvage yards and see if you can find one.

Nice. Did you completely shear the studs off?

nope everything is still there just the plate that mounts the strut to the strut tower was rusted out and with the force of the car it just broke the plate around the washer and so the strut just came up through. the studs and everthing are still there

New top hats and bushings and you should be good to go. It looks like you could use a new set of struts too
