The strut is fully intact and bolted to the knuckle... it can't fly anywhere. In fact, he'll take the three top mount nuts off, and have to actually yank on it to get it to drop. Matt and I just did this on his car like 3 weeks ago... the procedure I outlined is the easiest way to fix the top mount.
