To provide a movable and reliable connection of the shock absorber to the car body, a support bearing is used. Such a detail is found only in those vehicle models where the rack also rotates with the steering knuckle. The journal bearing is located directly above the front spring. The shock absorber rod runs over it. This structural component moves without resistance or friction. It can be cast or multi-piece. It depends on the design features. The bearings are made of high-strength metal. After all, they are subjected actively to high loads, which is especially important when driving on uneven roads. Therefore, it is important to monitor systematically the condition of such structural elements.

The usage of the FAG brand Rolling Bearing, suspension strut support mounting

Cars are subjected regularly to excessive shock loads while driving. The device for their extinguishing is attached to the metal surface through an intermediate element, and not directly. This provides effective shock absorption during movement. To protect the corresponding units from premature wear and from breakdowns of parts, rack supports are used. Vibrations of the steering wheel, the occurrence of noise when driving, rapid wear of the protectors - all this leads to imbalance. Therefore, all fasteners must be replaced immediately in the event of malfunctions.
