Strut Mounts

Strut Mounts sit at the top of a strut assembly and connect the suspension strut to the vehicle body. They help support suspension movement, isolate noise and vibration, and allow the strut to operate correctly. In many front suspension systems, the strut mount also plays a role in steering movement.

Brands such as KYB, Sachs, Febest, Boonma and VAICO offer strut mount options across many vehicle applications. The correct mount depends on the vehicle, axle position, suspension design and whether related parts such as bearings or bump stops are required.

Why Strut Mount Condition Matters

A worn strut mount can create knocking noises, steering roughness, vibration or poor suspension feel. Because strut mounts sit at the top of the suspension assembly, wear can affect both comfort and how the vehicle responds over bumps or during steering input.

Strut mounts are often inspected when replacing shocks or struts. Reusing worn mounts with new struts can compromise the result and may lead to repeated noise or premature wear.

Common Signs You May Need Strut Mounts

• Knocking noise: Worn mounts can knock over bumps or rough roads.
• Steering noise: Binding or creaking may occur when turning.
• Vibration: More road vibration may be felt through the body or steering.
• Uneven suspension feel: The vehicle may feel unsettled over bumps.
• Visible rubber wear: Cracking, separation or collapse may be seen during inspection.
• Strut replacement: Mounts are commonly replaced when fitting new struts.
• Alignment issues: Worn upper mounts can affect suspension geometry.

Choosing the Right Strut Mount

The easiest way to find the right strut mount is to use our simple rego finder or manually select your vehicle. This helps narrow the product list to options suited to your vehicle, so you are not sorting through mounts that may not match your suspension layout or axle position. Always check the product page for any specific notes.

When comparing suitable options, check whether the mount is for the front or rear, left or right where applicable, and whether a bearing or related hardware is included. Strut mounts should be matched to the suspension components being fitted.
