Full details
The VAICO V42-0658 Suspension Strut Support Mount is designed for automotive DIYers and professional mechanics looking for a durable, reliable alternative to original equipment suspension components.

How do I confirm this part fits my car?
Cross-reference the OE numbers 5033.A1 or 5033.C3 with your vehicle's owner manual or by checking the part number currently installed on your vehicle.
Can I install this part myself?
If you have experience with suspension work and access to a spring compressor, it is a standard repair. If you are not familiar with spring compression, consult a professional mechanic, as it involves high-tension components.
Should I replace these in pairs?

What is the weight of the V42-0658 mount?
The weight of the unit is 0.14 kg.
Does this mount require any lubrication?
No, this part is designed as a direct-fit component and does not require external lubrication during installation.
Troubleshooting
Persistent clunking sound after installation
Check that all mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specification and that the strut assembly is properly seated.
Vehicle pulling to one side
Ensure the strut was installed in the correct orientation and verify that the vehicle has undergone a professional wheel alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before initiating the replacement process, verify that your vehicle's current mount matches OE numbers 5033.A1 or 5033.C3. Installation typically requires removing the strut assembly from the vehicle, which necessitates the use of a spring compressor to safely release tension on the strut mount. Always follow your vehicle manufacturer's torque specifications for all mounting bolts to prevent hardware failure. It is recommended to replace suspension mounts in pairs (left and right) to maintain uniform handling characteristics. Periodically inspect the mount during routine oil changes for signs of dry rot, cracking, or excessive play in the center bushing.
