    09 base taco 4cyl auto 2wdrive. 5 lug. 96k miles. My question to anyone who has changed these out.... was there also a strut mount to replace. this is my first Taco so ive never changed these struts . However on my other vehicles they have all had the strut asembly bolts go thru the strut tower and and a ruber mount that should be replaced with new struts. If you know please let me know as Im gathering up the parts needed for the mechanic. Even a video or image link would be real helpful thanks.

    What kind of struts/shocks you going to be putting in? Hope they are not lift shocks you a five lugger. The 5100s won't work for you. If you are trying to lift the fat bob lift is pretty much only lift that will work for a five lug so I've read.
