Beck/Arnley Suspension Strut Mount P/N:101-8221
Smooth out the ride and keep the front strut properly located with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Strut Mount 101-8590. This front strut mount secures the top of the strut assembly to the body, cushions road noise and vibration, and provides the pivot point for the strut, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK280, 2009-2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK300, 2005-2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, and 2005-2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details).
Worn strut mounts often show up as clunking or knocking from the front over the strut, steering that feels loose or notchy, or increased vibration through the body. If a failed front strut mount is the cause, this replaces it. Replace the mounts on both sides together for balanced ride and handling.
