This high-quality component serves as the critical interface between the strut assembly and the chassis, ensuring quiet, vibration-free operation.

FAQs

Does this part include the bearing?

No, this MEYLE strut top mount is supplied without a bearing.

Should I replace these one at a time?

No, it is highly recommended to replace suspension strut mounts in pairs (left and right) to ensure balanced handling and safety.

Will this fit my Ford Galaxy?

Yes, this part is compatible with the Ford Galaxy series.

How do I know if my strut mounts are worn?

Common signs include clunking sounds over bumps, poor handling, and failed inspection due to excess play in the suspension.

Do I need to do an alignment after installation?

Yes, any significant work on the suspension system requires a professional alignment to prevent uneven tire wear.

Troubleshooting

Persistent knocking noise after installation

Verify that all top bolts are torqued to factory specifications and ensure the strut assembly is properly seated.

Vehicle pulling to one side

Check that both rear mounts were replaced in a pair and that a full vehicle alignment has been performed.

Difficulty seating the strut

Ensure the bearing is clean and correctly aligned with the top mount interface before mounting to the chassis.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Requirements

Replacing a strut mount requires compressing the rear coil spring, which is a specialized task. Always use a professional-grade spring compressor and follow the specific torque settings provided in your vehicle's service manual. Because this part does not include the bearing, ensure your current bearing is cleaned and lubricated or replaced if it shows signs of resistance or 'grittiness.'

Vehicle Compatibility

This part is designed for the rear axle of several models, including:

  • Ford: Mondeo IV, S-Max, and Galaxy
  • Volvo: XC60, V70 III, and S60 II

Maintenance Tips

  1. Periodically inspect the rubber seal for cracking or separation during routine oil changes.
  2. Always perform a four-wheel alignment after replacing suspension components.
  3. If the vehicle fails an MOT or inspection due to suspension 'play,' the top mount is often the primary culprit.
