The Problem

The strut mounts are responsible for being the primary reaction surface for the shock absorber. Rubber strut mounts to shield the driver from the road are soft and flexible. When the shock pushes against them, they deform unpredictably, reducing the ability of the shock absorber to control the suspension and keep the tires in contact with the ground. The rubber mounts try to do the shock absorber's job but without the tunability or precision of the shock, leading to unwanted oscillations and delayed response times.

The Solution

The Spherical Upper Strut Mount provides the perfect reaction surface for the shock. It increases the efficiency of the shock, keeping the tires more firmly on the ground, allowing the shock to control body roll better, and decreasing the reaction time between driver inputs and vehicle response. The Spherical Strut Mount does not bind, reducing lateral forces and friction in the shock. Simply put, it lets the shock be the shock.

Construction

The Spherical Upper Strut Mount is made from the highest-grade materials. The rubber damper replacement is made from high-strength 7075 Aluminum and finished with a black anodized coating for corrosion resistance. It features an oversized PTFE-lined stainless steel racing spec spherical bearing with a 17-4 PH stainless steel adapter sleeve for ultimate strength and reliability. It is fully rebuildable.
