Detailed Description

The Westar ST-4968 suspension strut mount is a front mount designed for vehicles with MacPherson-style strut assemblies that require a stable upper attachment point. By supporting rotation at the top of the strut, it helps the suspension move through its intended range while preserving steering response and reducing stress on related components. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 904968) for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and front suspension configuration before installation. This part is listed for front applications only, and some vehicles require rear coil spring suspension as noted in the fitment data. Inspect the strut assembly, bearing surfaces, and surrounding suspension components during service to confirm the source of wear before replacing the mount.
