This part basically connects your vehicle’s strut assembly to the body of the car. It’s a pretty simple idea, but it’s got a big job. It lets the strut move up and down with the suspension, absorbing bumps in the road, but it also keeps everything securely in place. It also typically houses a bearing that allows the strut to turn smoothly when you steer. Some have a little bit of give built in to help isolate noise and vibration too. Think of it as the connection point between your spring and shock absorber – that whole strut assembly – and the top of your car. When your suspension goes up and down, this is where that motion gets transferred. It doesn’t move a lot on its own, but everything goes through it. It’s a critical part of keeping your tires in contact with the road. Well, over time, these things wear out. The rubber degrades, the bearings can seize up, and the whole thing just gets tired. You’ll notice if it’s going bad usually with noises – clunking sounds when going over bumps, or maybe a whistling or groaning when you turn the steering wheel. Sometimes you’ll feel vibrations in the steering. It affects handling, too. If it fails completely, it can really mess up your alignment and make the car unstable. A bad strut mount can also accelerate wear on other suspension components. You can find a replacement easily enough. We have a good selection at Fixparts Online, and other parts suppliers carry them too. Replacing these is often done when you’re already doing other suspension work, like replacing the struts themselves, but it’s worth addressing even if it's the only issue.
