Westar ST-6982 Suspension Strut Mount - Front or Rear

Westar ST-6982 Suspension Strut Mount

Westar ST-6982 is a suspension strut mount for Mazda MX-5, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mazda RX-8 applications. It is built to provide the pivot point, locking connection, and noise isolation needed at the strut tower for stable steering response and controlled suspension movement.

Key Features

• Provides a pivot point for the suspension to rotate on, helping maintain correct suspension dynamics for steering and tire/component wear control
• Locks the strut and body together to secure the upper strut attachment
• Includes a noise-dampening function to reduce road noise and vibration transfer into the cabin
• Made with materials selected for the specific application
• Finished to help improve appearance and extend service life

Application Details

Compatible with 2006-2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata, front and rear; 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8, front and rear; and 2006-2008 Mazda MX-5, front and rear. This part number, ST-6982, is also a direct-fit reference for common OE-style replacement needs on these Mazda chassis.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 906982 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from the upper strut area
• Excess vibration transmitted through the suspension tower
• Loose or worn upper strut mounting points
• Steering feel affected by worn suspension support components
• Uneven tire or suspension component wear related to upper mount movement

Installation Notes and Tips

Install ST-6982 during strut service or when replacing worn upper mounts. Verify the mount orientation and confirm the vehicle is a Mazda MX-5, Mazda MX-5 Miata, or Mazda RX-8 with the matching front or rear position before installation. Inspect related suspension components, including the strut assembly and surrounding hardware, for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Westar focuses on application-specific strut mounts built from selected materials and finished to support durability and appearance. ST-6982 is engineered as a replacement suspension strut mount for the listed Mazda fitments.
