In my own experience, I've never had to replace strut mounts, bearings or the springs when changing out 9-5 front struts.
The original struts on my long-departed '01 Aero lasted to 200k miles or so before needing replacement, but the mounts were in good enough shape to re-use. They were still fine when I sold the car at 325k, too. I cleaned and repacked the bearings when I did the strut change, and replaced the bump stops, which got chewed up along the way.
If only 9-3 sports had springs/struts that lasted much more than 100k miles...
