Yes it is, the only thing stopping the strut coming upwards is those 4 bolts.
It is 12 in total, including the 8 underneath.
thats to secure the base of the mount to the car, not to stop the mount seperating and allow the strut to move upwards.
As said mate I use my Car on the road still and they have been fine
You have been lucky so far then mate, and I really hope that good luck continues for you.
Take a hump back bridge before a bend a bit quick (like I like to on the road being a bit of a hooligan and all that) and you'll find that when you land there is a good chance of both your struts coming through the bonnet and you crashing the car as a result.
Thats my worry with these, those threads arent strong enough to support the weight of the car.
