Help bring back smooth, quiet steering with this SACHS strut mount, part number 802696, a front mount designed to reduce the vibration and noise a worn mount can pass through to the cabin. It fits as a direct replacement on the listed applications, including the 2015-2025 Volkswagen GTI, 2015-2021 Volkswagen Golf, 2018-2025 Volkswagen Tiguan, 2018-2025 Volkswagen Atlas, 2019-2025 Audi Q3, and the 2015-2020 and 2022-2024 Audi A3.
The strut mount sits at the top of the strut assembly and connects it to the vehicle's body. When a mount wears, signs it may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, popping or binding when the steering wheel is turned, and added vibration or road noise. Other suspension components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If a worn mount is the source, SACHS 802696 replaces it. For engine details on your vehicle, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
