Im supposing this is dangerous so I need to get it fixed/replaced asap,
is there a way to repair this, its the rubber mounting that fits up in the metel bracket, theres no bolts broken, just the rubber is pulled away from the rest.

You can buy a new strut mount for like $50 bucks. That is pretty cheap fix. So i wouldnt worry about trying to fix the one you have.

I was told that the rubber area around it was more of a piece that just minimized vibration thoughout the strut mount... I believe the rubber piece actually sit on top of the mount and under the area where the strut actually bolts up to the chassis of the car...

I could be wrong.. but.
the same rubber piece your worried about is worn out in my car.. the rubber is not completely torn away.. but it is torn.. I haven't had any problems and i've been rolling around on this for about a year now ..

well the problem is, when i jacked the car up, the strut assembly (spring, strut and wheel) jsut sat there as the car went up, the plate with the 4 bolts stayed in the strut housing(wheel well) and the rest came done.

confusing? lol lol

when i took the plate of from the car, it had a little bit of that rubber on it and i could fit it back onto the strut, but ofcourse it needs to be made back on to it again.

id replace with solid mounts

yup yup mine have been like that for 4 monhts, i havent had time to fix it, its an annoyance..the noise ill fix it in a few weeks. They are cheap like 50 dllrs from tirerack.com

I found the front ones at my local Pep Boys for $35 with the bearing.

WOW thats cheap o.0 got the part number? i will get one this weekend.
