Rear right strut mount also broke in my 97. Ha ! I thought it was a combination ofmy driving style and lunar crater-sized potholes.

The damage :

the mounts just use a floating rubber design....depending on how much weight you usually haul around, your driving style, and road conditions, you may need to replace them every 50,000-75,000 miles

i'm guessing that since the gas tank is in the rear, and i like to keep mine full, and its on the curb side, that's why it went out. thanks for the input.
