Strut mounts

Strut Mounts are parts that put suspension strut to your car. They also protect you from your tire noise and mute vibrations from your car on the road. Strut mounts also come with a bearing, which works as a steering hinge.
A strut mount works like a hinge, one side is attached to the car, and the other to the suspension strut. A rubber-like material is found in the middle and its job is to protect the connection. With time, the thickness of this protective material changes and wears out becoming thinner. As a result, you get more noise. It’s good to replace this part at the same time you’re replacing your suspension strut and the coil springs. Usually to know that you need to replace your strut mount, your car is probably making clunking noises, and you’re getting vibration as you drive. Your steering can feel very loose or too stiff and noisy. Your tires have become misaligned, and this can even affect braking too.
