So im putting a set of tokico blues on and i was wondering if i should change the mounts? I guess they come with a bearing part and a insulation part? Im getting the work done where i work (niello infiniti) and the tech says i should prolly just do the bearing and the service advisor says the old ones should be ok. Itd be about 60 for the bearings all around and about 120 for the insulatoin all around, so is it worth it? I will be putting new dust covers on.

That's kinda a "feel good" move. If you are not having problems with the factory ones then it's a waste, but if you think they may go out at some point before the new struts need replacing then it would possibly be cheaper to go ahead and get it done now. Thus, "feel good"
