Strut Mount Retainers

If a vehicle strut is being removed for service or replaced, the strut mount retainer should be inspected. Also known as the strut top, this retainer securely holds the upper part of the strut assembly in place, securing it to the body or frame on specified vehicles. The retainer also serves to maintain correct vehicle alignment and supports the struts, aiding in cornering and vehicle control. Designed to help eliminate knocking or banging sounds originating from the front end, a set of strut retainers can be a smart addition to a routine strut replacement.
