Thanks! That makes total sense.....I'll replace both of those. This
problem has baffled me for a long time....
Hmmm.....where can I get a tool that will loosen the upper strut nut?
I guess I need a 24mm extra deep offset box wrench or something similar
but I can't find that anywhere....

Spin it off using an air impact wrench.
If you don't have air, IPD sells a tool for the task.

24mm is the same as 15/16". Just remeber that the spring needs to be
compressed before you drop the strut out to change the upper mount.
However it sounds to me as if the spring was improperly located the last
time some one changed out the strut inserts.
