Do I need to buy strut mounts and boots as well? Or is it optional? Looking to replace the front struts on a 05 altima.

I got an 2006 Altima and when I replace the front struts the boots were broken even thought those we're look ok before I took it off the strut . My recommendation is check well the boots of your altima if you see that those are ok used it again (there is nothing better than an original part) but if you see some kind of damage (real one ) replace it.

Yes u need to change the strut mount. let the mechanic check your boot it might not need changing

I've changed the struts on my altima twice, it now has 140k on it and I have not changed the mounts or boots. Obviously if yours are damaged you will need to replace them

I would suggest it. I did. It's the same labor to get the struts out to replace them later. If you have it apart replace everything in the same labor "path." It's worth it. I think I paid $60 for mounts on amazon. If possible don't be cheap. Get the mounts.

When the front struts comes off, you will have to to disassemble them, you will notice that there are pieces similar to these when you are taking it apart. I don't think I had I use every piece in the kit. You'll need two of these kits if you're doing both front shocks.

they are not quick struts . you have to use spring compressor to install the new ones.

Nope only the mount only. I purchased this boot:Moog K90461 Strut Bellows KitMoog K90462 Front Strut Bellow and Bumper Kit

The strut is complete, ready to install. Order same part number for both sides of car. I used them on a 2001 Windstar.

The Monroe Quick strut is great , safer install, you get new coil springs, Monroe should have correct part #'sMade a big difference in handling and control. Be safe.

This is a front right strut for a nissan altima, your car uses Monroe part #171490 for the right and 171491 for the left

I would recommend that you also replace the sway bar links. You will likely destroy the original ones when trying to remove them from the strut (bad design). Moog has good replacement links. But be sure to measure what is currently on your car and order the correct length since there are 2 different lengths depending on the colbalt model.

I went to the Monroe website and they did not show any struts for that vehicle. If I were you I would call Monroe and ask them what the number is that fits your car. I know they are happy to help.

they both do fit 05 altima the difference is one is a front motor mount the other is the front "right" motor mount

This is for the rear. On my 2005 Grand Prix we had to buy the strut / mount / coil separately for the front.

The three bolt top hats do not come with the struts. They are however, re-usable. Check to make sure that they spin freely. OEM springs work just fine.

They fit my 05 Altima with no issue, just do what Alexander said and you should be fine.

My 1997 & 2000 Ford Taurus (17 & 14 years respectively) utilize plastic strut boots/bellows. I recently replaced the entire quickstrut assemblies because the shocks were dead, however the plastic was still in good shape. The OEM's use plastic/polymer because it will not deteriorate like rubber. My 2005 Dodge Magnum (9 years) also uses plastic boots. I think all of these easily validate plastic boots as a quality material. Installation method, then compression and tension extremes, such as off road use, will play a part in longevity regardless of material type.

Struts are generally on front only. Check with a auto parts store to make sure since some models have do 4.
