Westar ST-8941 is a suspension strut washer for front upper strut applications on select Volvo models. It is built to support suspension rotation, secure the strut and body together, and reduce road noise and vibration transfer into the cabin.

Key Features

• Provides a pivot point for the suspension to rotate while maintaining correct suspension dynamics
• Helps support steering response and reduce uneven tire and component wear
• Locks the strut and body together at the mounting point
• Helps dampen noise and vibration from the road
• Designed for front upper suspension strut service on select Volvo V70, XC70, S60, S80, C70, S70, and 850 applications

Detailed Description

Westar ST-8941 is a suspension strut washer engineered for front upper mounting locations on select Volvo vehicles. It supports the strut mount assembly by allowing controlled pivot movement, securing the strut to the body, and helping isolate noise and vibration. This makes it a practical choice for Volvo V70, XC70, S60, and S80 front upper suspension service where proper mount function is important to steering feel and ride quality. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 908941) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or rattling from the front upper strut area
• Excess road noise and vibration entering the cabin
• Loose or unstable strut-to-body mounting
• Reduced steering precision caused by worn suspension mounting components
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension movement issues

Installation Notes and Tips
