Used Mounting The Shock Absorber 1990–2019

Shock absorber mounting hardware includes the upper mounts, lower brackets, bushings, and fasteners that secure your shocks or struts to the vehicle. Worn mounts cause clunking, poor ride quality, and accelerated shock wear. Redline carries 14 Mounting The Shock Absorber units from 10 makes. Upper strut mounts sit at the top of the strut tower under the hood or inside the trunk area. They incorporate a bearing plate that allows the strut to rotate with the steering. When this bearing wears out, you hear a popping or grinding noise when turning the wheel at low speed. The rubber isolator in the mount deteriorates over time, allowing metal-to-metal contact that transmits every bump directly into the body. Lower shock mounts bolt to the axle, control arm, or knuckle. These are simpler but still important. Cracked brackets, worn bushing sleeves, and stripped bolt holes all compromise the shock's ability to do its job. When replacing shocks, always inspect the mounts. Putting new shocks on worn mounts wastes money because the mounts will fail before the shocks do. Parts from Chevrolet, Honda, Infiniti, Mercedes Benz, Ford and others are available.
