Westar ST-4954 Suspension Strut Mount

Westar ST-4954 is a suspension strut mount for the front left or front right position on select 1998-2002 Mazda 626 models. It provides the mounting and isolation functions needed to keep the strut assembly working correctly while helping reduce road noise and vibration.

Key Features

• Creates a pivot point for the suspension so it can rotate smoothly during steering
• Locks the strut and body together at the upper mount location
• Includes a noise-dampening design to reduce vibration transfer into the cabin
• Built with materials selected for this application and finished to help extend service life
• Direct fit for front left and front right Mazda 626 applications

Detailed Description

This suspension strut mount is engineered for the 1998-2002 Mazda 626, including front left and front right positions. The mount supports proper suspension movement by providing a controlled pivot point, securing the strut to the body, and isolating vibration before it reaches the vehicle interior. Westar ST-4954 is a practical replacement when the upper strut mount shows wear, noise, or looseness.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 904954) for the same application. It also aligns with other aftermarket references used on the Mazda 626 platform, including KYB SM5459 and MOOG Chassis Products K80915.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excess road noise or vibration entering the cabin
• Loose or unstable steering feel from a worn upper mount
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension movement outside normal range
• Binding or poor suspension rotation at the strut tower
