Strut mount Information
Damper strut is unit used in any car. It consists of a spring and shock absorber. It is part of an integrated system of wheel suspension. The top of the system is located so that it can perform pendulum motions. In the bottom there is located stub axle. Dumper strut must ensure the stability of the car (and at the same time a comfortable ride both for driver and passengers). This is possible due to elimination of unnecessary rolls, swinging from the action of the spring, as well as elimination of rotation from the roadway. Thus, car behaviour depends on the quality functioning of the shock absorbers. And by the way, this dependence is not less than on the quality of the suspension and tires.
Support at the top of the damper strut is noise isolating. It is designed to enhance damping when cornering the drive wheels and provide little resistance. While the front wheels contact the road surface, damper struts are under a constant load.
You can check if the damper strut is faultless when driving.
The first sign that there are problems with the damper strut is the presence of the characteristic knock when driving, especially on rough roads. When you hear such a knock, first it is necessary to check the damper struts as they may be the main cause of failure. At the same time, it is also required to check security of mounting.
Remember, any timely replacement of the damper strut support is another brick in the solid foundation of safety driving. Do you need to buy a damper strut? Welcome to our online shop!
