The strut bearing is a vital component that links the strut to the vehicle's body. The front wheels can change direction and that is because the front strut allows mobility.
Strut bearing principleThe strut bearing is normally installed at the top of the shock absorber, in the middle of the shock-absorber spring and the car body. It lets the shock absorber have curvature movement of the shock absorber with low to no friction at all, and it provides the user with an excellent steering experience. The bearings tend to wear out from constant use, so it is important to replace the struts so they won't affect the suspension and steering.
Common issues with a faulty strut bearingA faulty strut bearing can lead to knocking, stiff steering, and uneven tire wear.
