Icon4 Strut Tower

Hey, Im a new Honda owner (2012 accord coupe)and new to this site so I apologize if this has been covered somewhere else, but I couldn't find it.
I started hearing a weird noise coming from the back of the vehicle and my mechanic told me that I " had a little play in the strut tower, but it wasn't bad yet, it'll just be a little louder when going over bumps" I would like the noise to stop cause its super annoying. Should I just replace the one strut tower? Im pretty dumb when it comes to suspension and have no idea what I need to do. Any advice would be awesome.

I assume he meant the strut or strut bearing. The strut tower is part of the vehicles body and is not a wear item.


Struts should always be replaced in pairs in order to maintain neutral ride handling characteristics. It is a somewhat labor intensive job,and potentially dangerous with out the right tools and skill set.....
