Product Details

This Westar suspension strut mount is designed for front strut service on the 1987-1988 Ford Thunderbird and 1987-1988 Mercury Cougar. The ST-1974 helps maintain correct suspension geometry by allowing the strut assembly to pivot as the vehicle travels over bumps and during steering input. It also secures the strut to the body and helps isolate vibration, which can improve cabin comfort and reduce harshness from the road. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 901974 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Clunking or knocking from the upper strut area
• Excess vibration or road noise entering the cabin
• Loose or worn upper strut mounting support
• Steering feel affected by worn suspension mounting points
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension movement issues

Installation Notes and Tips

Install ST-1974 during front strut service on the listed Thunderbird and Cougar applications. Inspect the surrounding suspension components, including the strut assembly and related mounting points, before reassembly. Verify front position fitment against the vehicle’s model year before installation.
