I am replacing the front struts as the wheel shakes when I am driving and the shop stated I needed new ones. My question is should I change the strut mount and bellows also or only if they are worn?

Thanks
Mic

HI there,

Firstly I would get a second opinion on the problem, shimmy in the steering wheel is more in line with wheel balance problems, soft struts will not give this effect.
