Front and Rear Strut Mounts and Strut Bearings

[CTOESHO]

I just got some used Tokico's with springs still attached and was wondering how do I examine the front and rear strut mounts to see if they are in good condition. Also, how do I know the strut bearings are okay also. Thanks.

Are you talking about the strut mounts in your car? if you're talking about the ones in your car then you will hear a warbling noise whenever you go over bumps.

No, these are the strut mounts and bearings that are attached to the struts and springs ready to be installed. Obviously if their is any tears and what not the mounts would be bad but what if they bend a bit at the tips. Is that okay?
