What This Product Does

Functions

• Helps maintain correct location of the damper assembly
• Connects the rear damper assembly to the vehicle body
• Helps limit movement and noise from a worn mounting point

Symptoms of Fault

• Knocking or rattling from the rear suspension over uneven surfaces
• Harsh impacts or increased vibration entering the body
• Loose movement around the upper shock absorber mounting point
• Vague or unsettled rear suspension behaviour
• Premature wear affecting the damper or associated mounting hardware

Why Replacement Matters

A worn supporting mount can allow unwanted movement within the rear damper assembly, resulting in noise and reduced suspension control. Inspection is advisable when replacing rear shock absorbers, particularly if the existing mounts are aged, perished or loose. Related bump stops, dust covers, spring supports and mounting hardware should also be checked while the assembly is removed.

FAQs

• How many mounts are required? 2 Per car. Price is each.
• Should both rear mounts be inspected together? Yes. Checking both sides helps identify uneven wear and supports balanced rear suspension operation.
• Should other components be checked during installation? Inspect the rear dampers, bump stops, dust covers, spring supports and mounting hardware while access is available.
• Is suspension alignment recommended afterwards? An alignment check is advisable following significant suspension work or where uneven tyre wear is present.
