No, the MK156 is a mounting kit that includes the upper strut mountings, bearings, and associated hardware. It does not include the shock absorber strut assembly.
Strut top mountings are wear items and do not have a fixed replacement interval. They should be replaced when symptoms of wear, such as noise, vibration, or poor handling, become apparent, or during suspension servicing.
The anti-friction bearing allows the strut to rotate smoothly as the steering wheel turns, reducing stress on suspension components and contributing to easier steering and reduced noise.
Installation of suspension components requires specialized tools and knowledge. While DIY is possible for experienced mechanics, professional installation by a qualified technician is strongly recommended for safety and proper function.
This kit is designed for standard or heavy-duty suspension. Sports suspension systems often have different mounting points or firmer components, and using this kit on a vehicle originally equipped with sports suspension may alter the intended handling characteristics.
Verify that the correct mounting kit was used and that it was installed according to manufacturer specifications. Ensure all associated suspension components are in good condition.
Check for proper installation torque on the strut top mount. Ensure the anti-friction bearing is correctly seated and free to move. Reconfirm vehicle compatibility, especially regarding sports suspension.
This kit does not directly cause a pull. After installation, a wheel alignment is recommended to ensure correct vehicle geometry.
