SACHS designs its bearings and bushing kits to restore smooth steering while cutting down on vibration and noise. This suspension strut bearing sits at the top of the front strut, where it allows the strut to rotate with steering input.
A strut bearing may need replacing if you notice creaking, popping or clunking when you turn the steering wheel, steering that feels stiff or notchy, or added vibration. These signs can have other causes, so diagnose the problem first. If a worn strut bearing is the cause, SACHS 801038 replaces it.
