Auto Shock Absorber Strut Mount Guide

Shock absorber strut mounts are usually made of rubber materials. Rubber is widely used in automotive shock absorbing parts due to its good elasticity and sealing properties.

The rubber material of the strut mount can effectively absorb and disperse the impact and vibration from the road, improve riding comfort, and protect the suspension system from damage.

Front / Rear Strut Mount

The main difference between the front and rear strut mounts is that they are installed in different positions on the vehicle and the impact they bear.

• The front strut mount is located at the front of the vehicle and needs to bear the impact from the front wheels and engine and other components;
• The rear strut mount is located at the rear of the vehicle and mainly bears the impact from the rear wheels and the weight of the vehicle body.

Functions

Common functions

• Buffering and shock absorption: The strut mountis located on the top of the shock absorber, which can absorb and disperse the impact and vibration from the road, reduce the bumps and shaking of the vehicle during driving, and improve the comfort of riding.
• Sealing and fixing: The strut mountalso seals and fixes the shock absorber to prevent water, dust and other debris from entering the shock absorber, thereby extending the service life of the shock absorber.
• Enhancing the tightness of the connection: The strut mountcan enhance the tightness of the connection between the shock absorber and the vehicle body to ensure the maximum shock absorption effect.

Specific functions

• Front strut mount: It performs the above functions at the front of the vehicle, especially when the vehicle accelerates, brakes or turns, and plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the vehicle body.
• Rear strut mount: It focuses on shock absorption and buffering at the rear of the vehicle, which is also crucial to improving the riding comfort of rear passengers and protecting the rear suspension system.
