Wow, never seen that before. That mount is gone. Are you running coil overs?

Yah i was like wtf?! Im running stock struts and h&r springs... i ordered a new mountt it looks to have worn out on the bottom side. From the noise it was making i thought it was something way worse.. still crappy tho . Thanks for the feedback.

Lucky it didn't put a hole in your hood. I've seen pictures of that happen what the mount or CC plates break.

The strut acts like a jackhammer on the camber plate. This one "gave-up-the-ghost".

Imagine if those were coilovers :uh oh:
