Detailed Description

The Westar ST-8992 suspension strut mount is designed for the rear suspension on 2004-2010 BMW X3 models with stud plate only fitment. As the upper attachment point for the strut assembly, the mount plays a direct role in suspension movement, body isolation, and overall ride quality.

Westar ST-8992 is a direct-fit replacement choice for BMW X3 rear suspension service where the original mount has deteriorated.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension
• Excess road noise or vibration entering the cabin
• Loose or degraded upper strut support
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension movement
• Reduced steering stability caused by worn suspension mounting points
