2).core function
| Vibration cushioning: | The elastic bushings disperse road impact, reduce vibration transmitted to the body, and improve driving comfort. |
| Support load: | bear the vertical weight of the vehicle (about 20%-30% of the body weight) to maintain the stability of the suspension geometry. |
| Steering flexibility: | Part of the design includes a bearing structure, so that the shock absorder rotates with the steering wheel, improving control accuracy (steering resistance is reduced by 15%-20%). |
| Safety and noise reduction: | isolate mechanical vibration and noise, reduce component wear, and avoid the risk of tire partial wear or out of control caused by suspension system instability. |
2. 7 Signs and Countermeasures of Strut Mount damage
| Symptom | Potential Risk | Maintenance Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Noise when passing speed bumps | Rubber aging/cracking or metal fatigue | Immediate inspection and component replacement |
| Heavy steering wheel operation | Bearing lubrication failure/jamming | Service within 2 weeks with high-temp grease replenishment |
| Vehicle deviation during driving | Suspension geometry imbalance | Four-wheel alignment required (toe angle error < ±0.1°) |
| Abnormal tire wear | Alignment deviation/bushing deformation | Inspect suspension components and replace damaged parts |
| Shock absorber oil leakage | Secondary damage risk | Replace complete shock absorber assembly |
| Body vibration at high speed | Reduced suspension support | Emergency repair required; avoid long-distance driving |
| Dashboard warning light activation | Sensor malfunction (premium models) | Read fault codes with OBD scanner |
1).Comparison of original parts vs auxiliary parts
| Type | Advantages | Disadvantages | Applicable Scenarios |
| OEM Parts | 100% compatibility, 2-5 years warranty | Higher price (CNY 80-200) | Luxury vehicles, in-warranty vehicles |
| Aftermarket Parts | Cost-effective (CNY 30-120) | Inconsistent quality, requires careful selection | Economy vehicles, short-term transitional use |
4.DIY replacement Strut Mount whole process and cost control
| 1) . List of Tools ( Total cost ~ 80−150 ) |
|---|
| Torque Wrench (20-150N·m) |
| Spring compressor (recommended OTC 6297 type, anti-slip design is safer) |
| 19mm sleeve set |
| Safety support ×2 (bearing capacity ≥3 tons) |
| Anti-occlusal paste (e.g. Permatex 80078) |
What to check for this part
Compare the stud pattern, center opening and kit contents. Do not assume that a bearing is included because it appears in a general product photograph.
Have an existing part number? Use it to narrow the catalog, then compare the listed application and specification. If the number is missing, send the vehicle details and a description of the installed position.
Prepare a supply enquiry
Include the reference numbers, quantity for each item and delivery destination. If a drawing or inspection requirement applies, identify it in the request. Ask us to confirm the proposed part, package contents, pricing and lead time for your order.
