Working principle
The Strut Mount is located at the top of the shock absorber, connecting the body and the shock absorber, which mainly plays the role of buffering, shock absorption and support. It can absorb and disperse the shock and vibration from the road surface, reduce the force transferred to the body, and improve the ride comfort. At the same time, it also ensures that the shock absorber works in the correct position, maintains the geometric parameters of the suspension system, and ensures the vehicle's handling stability
Installation steps and maintenance precautions
preparation : Prepare jacks, wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers and other tools, and ensure that the top adhesive products matching the model and reliable quality. Stop the vehicle on a flat, firm ground, tighten the handbrake, and place the wheel stop to prevent the vehicle from moving
Removing the old Strut Mount : Use a jack to lift and support the front of the vehicle, remove the tire on the side that needs to be replaced with the top glue, loosen the upper fixing bolts that connect the shock absorber to the body, and carefully remove the shock absorber from the body. Disassemble the dust cover, buffer block and other parts on the top of the shock absorber to expose the top glue and remove the old top glue
Install new Strut Mount : Clean the debris and rust on the top of the shock absorber and body mounting position, install the new top glue correctly on the top of the shock absorber and ensure that it is firmly installed. Reinstall the dust cover and buffer blocks, reinstall the shock absorbers on the body, and tighten the bolts
