Installation Notes and Tips

Install the strut mount during front strut service to reduce repeat labor. Inspect the strut bearing, spring seat, and surrounding suspension components before reassembly, and verify that the replacement matches the vehicle’s front position and application details. Professional installation is recommended for suspension work that requires spring compression.
