Product Description
The STARK Top strut mount (SKSS-0670067) is a premium, original-equipment-quality front upper suspension strut support mounting engineered by STARK. Installed at the top anchoring apex of the front shock absorber assembly, its primary function is to structurally join the suspension strut to the vehicle's unibody chassis tower. It acts as an elite mechanical vibration isolator, utilizing a heavy-duty rubber-to-metal elastomer compound to deaden harsh road feedback, tire hum, and severe vertical cabin impacts. Replacing deteriorated mounts completely eliminates front-end structural knocking noises and restores positive, predictable steering alignment geometry.
