I didn't have any trouble reusing my stock strut mounts, as long as the bearings stay in the race you should be ok. I also didn't lower the front of my car so that can have something to do with it.

Hello, the upper strut mounts are located on the underside of the strut tower. The four studs that are sticking up belong to the upper mounts. When you change springs or struts you have to take these off and most of the time the little ball bearings that are inside fall out. Some times you can get lucky and not lose any and if tis is the case you do not need to replace the mounts. Ford has two different models, one for a coupe the other a convertible. Give me a call if you have any questions.
