Strut

Rockauto $12.07 for the upper strut mount.

I looked on rock auto and couldn't determine which one was for a 2012 cts-v coupe. Thanks

Will be the same as the Sedan and Wagon.

Thank you

Another question thanks...if I'm removing the shock and strut as one piece, do I need a spring compressor,
I want to replace the strut plate.

Painfully, it is part of the assembly. You will need a spring compressor.

Thank you sir

This is the spring compressor to buy. I bought the compressor tool from Amazon for like half price. But, it is difficult to use. You could take it to a shop and have them do the spring...

Now that's nice but a little more than I want to spend. Lol

I have the car sold but I need to fix this problem first

Pricy but I want one. Such a pain to undo the spring without launching it. Also, make note if the clicking as it is a bitch to get it to rotate once assembled.

I have one more question, on the strut mount you posted for me does it come with the bearing, doesn't say on the site. Thanks

yes

Thanks for your help.
