Rick -
The manual says nothing about this. We didn't do anything on ours except bolt it together. The first set of blocks gave us a 6 degree aft rake angle on the strut, so they sent us a new set. We set the rake as close to zero as possible, drilled the holes and bolted it together. We did paint our engine mount white - over the black coat already on it.

All,
I'm installing the front strut on an ES. The strut is largely held on by
two aluminum bearing blocks that are bolted to the steel engine mount (I
believe the same/similar arrangement with a IV and Legacy).
Has anyone had any experience with galvanic corrosion between those.
Especially on the retracts - as it would seem to be an area that is not
immune from moisture (although they are bolted tightly together).
Does the paint on the mount and/or anodizing on the bearing block inhibit
the formation of corrosion?
Has anyone thought about perhaps an extra coat of paint there or a thin
"smear" of RTV silicone before bolting them tightly together?
I'm just trying to think ahead as I put this all together.
