Beck/Arnley Suspension Strut Mount P/N:101-8360
Cushion road impacts and keep the front strut located with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Strut Mount 101-8201. This front strut mount installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 Audi TT, 2000-2006 Audi TT Quattro, 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, and 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail. It secures the top of the strut to the body, helps isolate suspension noise and vibration, and allows the strut to move with the suspension.
Worn strut mounts can show up as clunking or knocking from the front suspension over bumps, added vibration, or steering that feels loose. If a failed mount is the cause, this replaces it. It is a common best practice to inspect and replace the mounts on both sides together for balanced ride quality.
