Yes, although that large plastic guard was damaged this winter due to non existant thinking that goes into plowing the roads in my town. So there hasnt been a plastic guard on the bottom of the car in a while but yes, the mounts that face the front of the car.

Those are your sway bar bushings. Your going to want to replace that gaurd and air dam and springs the gaurd helps to protect the bottom of the radiator and ac condensor. The air dam helps to cool the engine in stop and go traffic and driving around town.

Ill try to find another plastic guard at a junk yard or something but a piece of plastic just doesnt seem that important. Right now I wanna get the front end completely solid and stable.

The top engine mount is different from the bottom one the bottom engine mount is a dog bone one. Also the top transmission mount is a dog bone one the same one as the bottom engine mount. The bottom transmission mount is also different then the top engine mount and the top transmission mount and the bottom engine mount. So you found the dog bone mounts?Which other ones cant you find that you need?The part number for the upper mount on the engine is 2827 its made by anchor I dont recomend it I got that one from rock auto and had to file the holes to make it fit. On that one I would just go to auto zone and get one its the dea made mount and looks like different then the one you get on rock auto. The dog bone lower engine mount and upper transmission mount part number on rock auto is 2825 made by anchor. The lower transmission mount part number is 2826 made by anchor on rock auto.

We have already replaced the top engine mount that mounts next to the valve cover with 3 bolts, I had car shop check out my car and they showed me that the bottom engine mount, dogbone, lower trans mount, and the top tranny mount which is also a dogbone needs to be replaced. So the top tranny mount and the bottom engine mount have same part number yes? I will compare prices at my local o reileys store

So when I took my car into the shop they also said the strut bearing plate is what is making some noise, I have looked at strut assemblies and strut mount kits but I dont really know exactly what the bearing plate is. I dont want to spend more money than I have to.

That looks like it they dont show the bearing ring in the picture but in the descripition they mention they bearing so looks like thats the one you want. You can rent a coil spring compressor at the auto parts store just be careful with that spring there dangerous and can hurt or kill you or someone near you.

If I just replace the strut mount, bearing included, on each side would I still need an alignment done afterwards or would I only need an alignment if I remove the whole strut to replace the mount. If I remove the whole strut then I dont have to worry about the coil right?

If your only changing the strut mount then ethier way you have to deal with coil. Also to replace the strut mount you remove the strut and alter the camber adjustment so yes you would need a alignment.
