Westar ST-4957 Suspension Strut Mount - Front

Westar ST-4957 Front Strut Mount

Westar ST-4957 is a front suspension strut mount built for vehicles that need a direct replacement mount with proper suspension rotation, secure strut-to-body attachment, and road-noise isolation. It is a fitment-based solution for Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Santa Fe, Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Mitsubishi Galant applications.

Key Features

• Provides a pivot point for the suspension to rotate, helping maintain correct suspension dynamics for steering response and tire and component wear.
• Locks the strut and body together to keep the front suspension assembly secured in place.
• Includes a noise-dampening function that helps reduce road noise and vibration entering the cabin.
• Built with materials selected for the specific application and finished to help support appearance and service life.
• Front position replacement for multiple import and domestic passenger vehicle applications.

Detailed Description

The Westar ST-4957 suspension strut mount is engineered for front-end service where the original mount has worn, loosened, or lost its ability to isolate vibration. By supporting the strut assembly at the top of the suspension, this mount helps the suspension rotate smoothly during steering input while keeping the strut and body properly connected. It is a practical replacement for 2005-2010 Hyundai Tucson, 2001-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring, 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus, 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, and 1999-2003 Mitsubishi Galant front applications. This part number, ST-4957, is also a useful reference when comparing replacement options for the same front strut mount application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 904957) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front suspension clunking or looseness from a worn upper strut mount
• Excess road noise and vibration transmitted through the suspension
• Reduced steering smoothness caused by a deteriorated mount pivot point
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension movement outside normal dynamics
• Strut-to-body attachment issues from a fatigued mounting point

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and front position before ordering. For best results, inspect the strut assembly, spring seat, and related suspension components during service, since worn parts can affect mount performance. Professional installation is recommended because strut service involves compressed spring components and precise suspension assembly.

Quality Assurance

Westar states that its strut mounts are made with application-specific materials and a protective finish intended to support appearance and service life. ST-4957 is a front suspension strut mount designed for direct replacement use on the listed applications.
