Corteco 80000248 Strut Mount

Description

The Corteco 80000248 Top Strut Mounting is a critical component within the vehicle's suspension system. It's used in the strut assembly to provide a secure connection between the strut and the vehicle's chassis, effectively reducing noise and vibration. This mount dampens impacts and contributes to a smoother, more controlled ride. Its dimensions are 32 x 71 x 136 mm, and it is manufactured in China. By isolating the chassis from road disturbances, this strut mount enhances both driver comfort and vehicle handling.

Key Features & Benefits

These basically connect your strut assembly to the vehicle’s chassis. They have a rubber or sometimes polyurethane piece in them that cushions the ride and absorbs a lot of the bumps from the road. It also allows the strut to pivot when you steer. So, it’s a connection point, a pivot, and a vibration dampener all in one. Think of it like this – your struts do the hard work of controlling the wheel’s movement and keeping everything stable. The strut mount is what transfers all that force into the car’s body. It’s the link between the moving suspension and the fixed chassis. Without it, you’d be feeling every single imperfection in the road, and things would be pretty shaky. It helps maintain wheel alignment, too.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If these wear out – and they will, eventually, especially with age and mileage – you’ll notice if they do. You’ll likely hear clunking noises when going over bumps, or when turning the steering wheel. Sometimes it's more of a rattle. It can also cause vibrations in the steering wheel. Ignoring a bad strut mount can lead to uneven tire wear, and make your car handle poorly, which isn't safe. Honestly, it’s a pretty common repair. You can find a replacement strut mount pretty easily; places like Fixparts Online often have a good selection. It's one of those parts that isn't hugely expensive, but makes a big difference in how your car rides and handles. It’s kind of like a shield protecting the rest of your suspension and your comfort.
