What Are Shock Absorber Bearings?

Shock absorber bearings, also known as strut bearings or suspension bearings, are pivotal components in McPherson strut suspension systems. They sit at the top of the shock absorber/strut assembly, providing a rotating pivot point that allows the strut to turn with the steering while simultaneously supporting the vehicle's weight and absorbing road shocks.

When these bearings wear out, you may experience clunking noises when turning, uneven tire wear, reduced steering precision, and compromised ride comfort. Replacing worn shock absorber bearings restores proper suspension function and vehicle safety.
