Shock absorber mounts and bearings

Collection: Shock absorber mounts and bearings

Strut mounts and bearings are components of the upper strut mounting (the so-called top hat) that connect the strut assembly to the vehicle body. The strut mount dampens vibrations and noise transmitted from the suspension to the body, while the bearing (upper thrust bearing) allows free rotation of the strut assembly when turning the wheels on the front axle. Together, they ensure quiet, smooth suspension operation and precise steering return. Efficient mounts and bearings directly affect driving comfort, vehicle handling, and the proper functioning of the shock absorbers.

Worn strut mounts or bearings exhibit characteristic symptoms: knocking and cracking noises when driving over uneven surfaces and when turning, grinding or resistance when turning the steering wheel, body vibrations, as well as reduced comfort and less precise handling. The most common causes are cracked rubber in the mount and seized or corroded bearings. Worn components accelerate the wear of the shock absorbers, so a damaged component should be replaced with a new replacement – ideally in pairs, on the same axle.

In this collection, you will find strut mounts and bearings, as well as complete upper mounting kits (mount with bearing) – for the front and rear axles – suitable for popular makes and models of passenger cars and delivery vans. We offer replacements from proven manufacturers, whose rubber quality, damping properties, and durability correspond to factory-fitted parts. In our store, you can also assemble other suspension system components that cooperate with the upper mounting, such as shock absorbers, suspension springs, bump stops and dust boots, and spring seats.

Each strut mount and bearing must be matched to a specific car model and axle – before purchasing, it is worth verifying the part number to select the correct replacement. It is best to replace upper mounting components when replacing shock absorbers, in pairs on one axle. We offer strut mounts and bearings at competitive prices, with fast delivery.
