Default Trunk strut mount???

I am guessing you are referring to the bottom mount. It would all depend on the pressure the shock exerts. When the trunk lid is in the vertical position, the only pressure exerted would be gravity but in the closed position and the shock compressed, the force would be shear force against the sides of the mount and mounting bolts and not pushing or normal force directly down but across attachment.
