Strut Attachment/ Mount, Strut Bearing - Function and Task. Some short information
The strut bearing can also be referred to as the strut mount. It connects the upper end of the shock absorber to the body of the vehicle. The strut bearing consists of a ball bearing on the steered front wheels. This in turn allows the shock to turn with the steering. In contrast to this the rigid rear wheels are mounted with a simple bearing, which can be replaced without special tools. For the most part, the ball bearings of the strut support consist of a rubber-metal composite, which shield vibrations and gear noise. In sports cars and racing cars, the ball bearing is made of metal, what gives a more precise steering response, but that comes at the expense of the vibration damping. Strut bearings are produced by SACHS, LEMFÖRDER, MONROE, MEYLE, FEBI BILSTEIN, BOGE or KYB, to name a few.
Is the strut bearing intact or defective? What can happen?
The weight of the vehicle is born by intact shock absorbers and the strut support and they support the vehicle and make sure that the vehicle is continuously in contact with the road. In addition, they guarantee clean, straight and also precise steering operations. But constant vibrations and shocks from the wheel can cause the strut mount to wear out. The rubber sleeve, which protects the strut mount, is at risk from outside elements, such as salt, water and sand. If the strut mount is worn you will notice increased noise from the area of the axis. But "spongy" steering or bad position on the road can indicate a worn strut mount.
Replacing the strut mount. Buying new original parts
No special tool is required when replacing a strut mount, but you should ensure that you use the right mount for the vehicle. In addition, car owners should also replace the rubber sleeve at the same time as the strut mount. Although the front axle does not need to be remeasured and inspected after the replacement, it is advisable to do so. In this way you can be sure your car is back on track. It’s also advisable to buy save costs on a new strut mount by ordering from our online shop. You can easily buy a new strut mount in our online shop at a reasonable price, as well as car parts from well-known manufacturers for many cars.
