    I'll be installing new Bilstein 5100 struts soon myself. I can't tell yet if the top of shock mount bushing hardware is worn or not. 2012 PreRunner with 121,000 miles. Would it be best to go ahead and replace this top of shock hardware while I have it disassembled? The KYB SM5640 Mount kit is $26.60 each side. I could wait until I pull it to inspect it and then order the part if clearly needed but then I have to wait 2 days for delivery. What do you guys think?

    Might as well. Not knowing your location (salty roads/ocean side) its hard to say
