Basically, the purpose of the torque strut mount is to keep the engine and transmission from vibrating excessievely. This smooths the ride, keeps the engine/transmission from excessivel stressing the engine/rtansmission mounts on the frame, and provides for a smoother ride and better drivability. Without the torque strut mount, the top of the engine would be unsupported and damage to the drive train would occur.

How do you change front struts on a 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix?
You can replace the strut cartridges without removing the entire assembly. Simply jack up the front of the vehicle, and rest it securely on jack stands. Remove the top cover plates covering the strut towers (held on by three nuts). Once the plate cover is off, remove the upper strut nut, and remove the rubber mount. You'll need a special die-tool to remove the strut cartridges.. Remove the old ones, install the new. Torque them to the proper spec. Re-install the mount, the upper nut, and the plate cover. Torque all nuts to the proper specs.... ENJOY!!! You can replace the strut cartridges without removing the entire assembly.

What is a strut bearing plate?
The top of the strut is connected to the vehicle body through the upper strut mount, in some cases called a bearing plate. This bearing plate allows the strut to pivot as the wheels are turned. It must be flexible enough to handle slight angle changes and dampen movement of the upper end of the strut. This mount or bearing plate transfers vehicle load to the strut and spring, making the upper mount/bearing plate the load carrier and the lower ball joint the follower.I found this on the Monroe site.
2005 Chrysler town and country. there is a loud bumping noise that sounds like something is loose but I can find no loose components. Has anyone an educated guess?
I believe the 2005 is the same as the 2002. The upper strut mount has a large rubber mount inside the upper strut mount. The rubber gets old and detaches from the upper mount. If you put your finger inside the upper mount and touch the top of the strut shaft with your finger, rock the car back and fourth pretty vigorously and if the center shaft moves the upper strut mount needs to be replaced.
