Strut Bearing

Dome bearing in the car - task, structure and typical defect symptoms

The strut mount is a central component in your car's chassis. It connects the strut and body and ensures that the suspension works smoothly and the steering reacts precisely. Without a functioning strut mount, every bump feels harder, the steering behaviour becomes less precise and the driving noise increases. In practice, the strut mount is a wearing part, as it is constantly working and carries the weight of the body on the Suspension Strut Mounting. The dome bearing service life is therefore limited. Damage is often signalled by cracking when steering, shuddering on the front axle or an indirect steering feel. If this is the case, you should check the strut mount and replace it if necessary. At ecanis, you will find suitable strut mount spare parts and accessories to get your suspension back on the road with confidence.

Dome bearing function - how it affects ride comfort and steering precision

To understand why a defective strut mount has such a noticeable effect, it is worth taking a look at how it works. The component is located at the top of the strut and forms the connection between the damper, Spring and body. Inside, rubber and bearing components work together to dampen shocks and release rotational movements for the steering. This allows suspension and steering to work together harmoniously. The strut mount ensures that the suspension strut can rotate during steering without impacts reaching the body unfiltered. An intact strut mount reduces noise, improves straight-line stability and makes your steering more precise. You can buy vehicle-specific strut mounts in our shop - including brand quality from BILSTEIN or METZGER.

Dome bearing service life, typical damage and warning signals

The service life of a dome bearing depends heavily on the driving profile, vehicle weight and road conditions. Many drivers notice the first signs of damage from bouncing noises on poor roads or when driving over speed bumps. A defective strut bearing can also become noticeable through cracking when turning the steering wheel, uneven tyre wear or delayed steering response. Then it's time to have the strut bearings checked and replaced if necessary. On the front axle in particular, it is a good idea to replace the strut bearings in stages so that the suspension works equally on both sides. If a broken strut bearing is recognised too late, it can put more strain on other suspension parts and significantly impair ride comfort. With suitable spare parts from the ecanis range, you can bring your suspension and steering back to a harmonious level.

Replacing and repairing dome bearings - selection, fitting and ordering

Dome bearing repair in the workshop or replace it yourself

Whether you have the strut bearing repaired or replace it yourself depends on your screwdriver expertise and your tools. For a professional replacement, the strut and Spring must be removed without tension. Without a suitable spring compressor, this is not only tedious but also dangerous. Many amateur mechanics therefore leave the replacement to a workshop, but buy the strut mount spare parts cheaply online in order to determine the quality and price themselves. In the strut mount category at ecanis, you will find support mounts, rubber mounts and complete assembly kits to ensure smooth installation. When ordering, pay attention to the exact assignment to your vehicle model, the axle side and the version, for example with or without integrated ball bearing. This way, your new strut mount fits perfectly and is installed more quickly.

Three points are crucial when buying a strut bearing: the right specification, reliable brand quality and convenient online ordering. You can find the right parts for your car with just a few clicks using the vehicle-specific car spare parts search in the shop. The product descriptions clearly list the definition, intended use and technical data so that you can select individual parts or complete sets for the front and rear axle. Brands such as BILSTEIN and METZGER stand for robust and custom-fit strut bearings in OE-like quality. After you place your order, ecanis will ensure speedy delivery so that your suspension is ready to go again quickly. Tip: When replacing the strut bearings, also check the dust boots and bump stops and replace them if necessary to extend the service life of the entire suspension strut.
