Top Strut Mounting - TED56567 TEDGUM

The junction of the shock absorber rod with the body is called a strut. Its purpose is to reduce shock loads on the body, since the shock absorber dampens mostly smooth vibrations. In addition, the front shock absorber rod is attached to the upper strut.

The functions of a TEDGUM brand Suspension Strut Mounting

The main working element of the front shock absorber strut, which is also called a mounting, is a thick rubber plate of a round shape, it absorbs shock loads. A sliding bearing is reinforced at the bottom of the plate - in the form of a plastic ring. It is needed to ensure that the shock absorber rod rotates with minimal friction.

If you ignore the obvious signs of failure of the shock absorber strut mounting, then in a short time there may be consequences when it will no longer be enough just to change the strut itself. The shock absorber may leak, the springs will wear out more intensively, and vibration will appear on the steering wheel, accompanied by previously unfamiliar sound effects when cornering. In addition, tire tread will shorten life and camber will need to be adjusted.
