Boings are usually the top mounting or bearing, but occasionally can be a broken spring, so be careful. Sometimes just a small piece off one end fails.I'd say it handles quite well now, but i figure there will be more improvement. Will be interesting.
And if nothing else my ears will be free of the boing thats currently coming from that strut
I'm replacing the mount as well, when I took the last one off, the strut/shock died completly, it had been working probably at 30% efficiency. So i'm expecting the same to happen, and it'd be best to even them up with a new strut/shock.
Until it happens. I had a brand new Renault Laguna back in 96. It came with faulty dampers that did cause the car to spin twice for no apparent reason. As you might guess, they 'knew all about it'... The joke was they stripped out the captive nut on one of the top mounts and it took them a week to get parts, remove the fuel tank and repair it.... The time to replace dampers is before they get bad, but we all leave it a while longer. Our 2014 car, and I noticed our 2016 both need new rear dampers although they drive OK you can see the wheels are just starting to be uncontrolled over ripples in the surface when observing from behind. Loosing it on a dual carriageway roundabout at speed was not nice. Thankfully There was space and no damage was done. Next time might well be less lucky.
I've become much more aware of this myself only recently. There is a real and noticeable difference in the handling of my GP with mostly new shocks, and my EVO with no new shocks. I really should put new ones on my EVO, it'd be so much nicer to drive. I wouldn't do the rear shocks on my EVO because when I did them on my GP it showed up how bad the rear axle bushes are, and i've been left with a slight clank, can't win 'em all.
