Product Information

Full details

The Quinton Hazell Strut Anti Friction Bearing (QAM212) is an essential suspension component designed for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts performing front-axle maintenance. This precision-engineered bearing ensures smooth, consistent rotation of the strut mount, which is vital for proper steering response and suspension articulation. While it provides high-quality performance and longevity, users must ensure they verify their specific vehicle's compatibility via OEM references or cross-references, as suspension parts are highly model-specific.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the QAM212 bearing?

It allows the front suspension strut to rotate smoothly, which is required for steering.

Should I replace these bearings in pairs?

Can I use this on the rear axle?

No, this specific part is designed exclusively for the front axle suspension assembly.

What are the key dimensions for verification?

The bearing has an outer diameter of 110 mm and an inner diameter of 73 mm.

Is this compatible with BENDIX 043700B?

Yes, the QAM212 is a direct cross-reference for BENDIX 043700B.

Troubleshooting

Steering feels heavy or binding during low-speed turns

Check the condition of the strut bearing; if the bearing race is seized or debris-clogged, replacement is necessary.

Audible 'pop' or 'click' when turning the steering wheel while parked

This is often a sign of a failing strut bearing. Inspect the bearing for vertical play and smooth rotation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces steering friction and noise
  • High manufacturing standards for long-term durability
  • Wide range of OEM cross-references available
  • Essential for smooth front-axle operation

Cons

  • Requires professional installation or advanced mechanical knowledge
  • Compatibility is highly specific to vehicle make and model
  • Does not include mounting hardware (bearings only)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before purchasing, consult your vehicle service manual to verify if your specific chassis uses the 110 mm/73 mm bearing specification. This part is compatible with various ALFAROME, FIAT, LANCI, and CHRYSLER models using OEM references 50700511 and 50700871. Installation requires the use of a spring compressor to remove the strut assembly. Always ensure the bearing seat is clean and free of road debris or old grease before installing the new unit. For maintenance, while these bearings are sealed, keeping the surrounding suspension area clear of heavy salt or debris buildup will help extend the lifespan of the unit.
