What This Product Does

The supporting mount connects the upper shock absorber assembly to the body. Its associated bearing accommodates movement as the front wheels steer, while the mount helps limit vibration and noise transmitted through the attachment point.

Functions

• Supports the upper damper attachment.
• Accommodates steering movement through the bearing.
• Helps isolate vibration at the mounting point.

Symptoms of Fault

Knocks near the upper strut attachment, creaking during steering or excessive vibration can warrant inspection of the mount and bearing. Similar noises may originate from suspension arms, bushes or drop links, so confirm the source before replacing parts.

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing a deteriorated mount or worn bearing addresses wear at the damper attachment rather than leaving the original supporting components in service. Inspecting these parts during shock absorber replacement can also help avoid dismantling the assembly again for an unresolved mounting fault.
