IN SUSPENSION DESIGNS, STRUT MOUNTS CONNECT THE VEHICLE'S SUSPENSION SYSTEM TO THE VEHICLE BODY, AND ARE LOCATED BETWEEN THE STRUT AND THE CHASSIS AT THE UPPER STRUT ATTACHMENT POINT.
FOR THE FRONT FITTING APPLICATIONS, THE MOUNT INCLUDES A BEARING THAT SERVES AS A STEERING PIVOT.
BECAUSE THESE ARE LOAD-BEARING, WORN STRUT MOUNTS CAN AFFECT A VEHICLE'S HANDLING AND SAFETY
