One of the suspension system components of a vehicle is the strut mount or upper bearing. Each car has two of these parts, which connect to the strut assemblies. One is connected to the left strut and the other to the right strut. Without this part, all impacts would be transmitted into the vehicle’s cabin, causing significant damage to the car.
When the strut mount is defective, a knocking sound is heard from the struts. Failure of this part can lead to steering wheel vibrations, and when the steering wheel is turned, a grinding noise may be heard from one side.
If this part becomes loose, it causes the strut bolts and nuts to loosen, eventually resulting in noise from the strut.
The inability to absorb impacts indicates poor quality of this component. Signs of deterioration include drying out and cracking. Its high importance lies in the fact that even the smallest problem with it can affect the entire system, leading to damage to other components over time. This part connects to the struts and is essentially attached to the upper part of the strut system. High quality of this part prevents noise in the vehicle.
Ettehad Talaei Asia’s strut mounts are made from the finest raw materials.
What is the function of the strut mount?
When the vehicle hits potholes and bumps, this part prevents shocks from reaching the struts, effectively absorbing the pressure directed towards the struts.
Signs of strut mount failure:
Noises from the struts and looseness of the nuts are signs of this part’s failure. A rattling sound from the steering wheel also indicates an issue with the strut mount.
Other signs of this part’s malfunction include unusual noises when driving over street obstacles like bumps and speed bumps, excessive tilting of the car towards the inside of a turn, and a bouncing front end when braking.
