Help shield your front struts from road grit and moisture with the SACHS Strut Bellow, part number 900157. This front-position part is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2004-2009 Mazda 3, 2005-2011 Volvo V50 and 2004-2010 Volvo S40. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-specific details.
A strut bellow, sometimes listed as a suspension strut bellow, surrounds the exposed piston rod of the strut. It helps keep dirt, water and debris away from the rod and seal as the suspension compresses and extends. Signs this part may need replacing include a torn, cracked or collapsed bellows, a boot that has worked loose, or dirt and grime collecting on the piston rod. Inspecting the bellows whenever the front struts are serviced is a good habit, and fitting new bellows alongside new struts helps protect the replacement units from the start.
