Spring Strut Mounts

Spring strut bearings provide an elastic connection on the car body between the shock absorbers and the support spring (superstructure spring) in the case of front wheel suspension. The dynamic forces of the shock absorber and the superstructure springs are isolated from the vehicle body by the spring strut mount.

As a result, the vehicle body drones less as the result of road-related excitation. As the front axle is steerable and the spring struts rotate with the wheels, there is a need for antifriction bearings that the helical springs can use for support. Decoupled spring strut mounts must be configured in such a way that they can support the helical spring and piston rod separately.

Structurally 1-path and 2-path connections are used.
