The mounts? Unh uhh.... They are probably fine. The shocks themselves are toast if stock, though.

I see no reason why the strut bearings would be shot with such 'low' mileage.

You've obviously never owned a Chrysler product

You, Sir, are correct.

new kw3 going on so just worried about the top mounts
thanks guys

i kind of want to make sure rather than guess by mileage so might pop them round to my local specialist

Can't hurt to have 'em looked at, right?
Let us know what you find.

Just have a close look at them looking for cracks. Feel the bearing action on the fronts.

The body dimensions for wreck repair ar all in the workshop manuals
here's one relevant spec, measure between the leading inboard strut bolt holes on the top of the towers, spec is 869+/-2mm

measure from the leading A arm chassis bolt back to the plane of the tower centers, spec is 215mm

measure from the plane of the front bumper mopunt to the plane of the tower centers, spec is 722+/-2mm
