Positioned at the very apex of the front suspension strut assembly, its primary function is to couple the shock absorber and coil spring unit securely to the vehicle's unibody chassis tower. By utilizing a heavy-duty, vulcanized rubber-to-metal bonding structure, it absorbs and dampens severe road vibrations, harsh impacts, and chassis noise before they can transfer into the passenger cabin. Additionally, it acts as the structural pivot point for the front suspension, allowing the entire strut assembly to rotate smoothly when the steering wheel is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e MEYLE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 412 0010 \/ 1004120010\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front Shock Absorber Top Mounting \/ Superstrut Bearing Bush\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front Axle, Left or Right (Symmetrical design fits either side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium-grade elastomeric rubber compound vulcanized to a high-strength structural steel core for optimized elasticity and tear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This item is the heavy-duty rubber top mounting bush.

Early models use this classic independent 100 412 0010 rubber mount. Later production runs and high-performance versions (such as the VR6 or late 2.0L GTI models) upgraded to an entirely different, asymmetric \"Plus\" suspension setup featuring a tapered, narrower top mount and an integrated bearing seat. Always confirm your vehicle's build date or examine the shape of the upper suspension dome before purchasing. Worn top mounts manifest as a distinct metal-on-metal knocking noise when driving over speed bumps, heavy cabin vibration, or a \"clunking\" sensation through the steering wheel.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOriginal Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Reference Numbers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis premium replacement front strut mounting block cross-references directly with, or serves as a factory-correct swap for, the following original factory codes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVAG (VW \/ AUDI \/ SEAT \/ SKODA):\u003c\/strong\u003e 357 412 331A, 357412331A, 357 412 331E, 357412331E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"meyle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57537983512959,"sku":"100 412 0010","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/7252\/9023\/files\/preview_da3cc8fc-81d1-4160-8ab6-fdef35db04fa.jpg?v=1778859378","url":"https:\/\/klassik357.eu\/products\/vw-top-mount-100-412-0010","provider":"Klassik357 - Classic and retro car parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
