Default When replacing struts, do you have to replace mounts?

I have a 98 Accord EX 4cyl with 105K. The struts are starting to feel a little worn out and at this mileage, I figured it is probably time to replace them. I am planning to replace them with KYBs and am wondering if there is anything else ( strut mounts, etc) that should also be replaced since it is going to be out? Or anything that I should look out for?

Any recommendations of a good alignment shop in the Mill Creek, WA area for a re-alignment after the job is done?

Thanks!!!

the top mounts are reused generally...though you can upgrade to an aftermarket pillow mount

Thanks for that. I'll check it out as I have not heard of pillow mounts before. I assume it has better dampening qualities.

Is there anything else that I should check while I'm pulling the struts out?
