The strut mount connects the top of the shock absorber (strut) to the vehicle's chassis. The bearing allows the strut to pivot when the steering wheel is turned, enabling smooth steering.
A reinforced strut mount, like this Meyle version, is designed to withstand greater stress and last longer than standard mounts, especially under heavy loads or demanding driving conditions. It helps prevent premature failure and maintain suspension integrity.
This kit is designed for VW T5 and T6 Transporter Van and Caravelle models, including variants like the Multivan and California. Please check the full compatibility list in the product description or consult your vehicle's manual.
Installation of suspension components is complex and safety-critical. It is strongly recommended to have this kit installed by a qualified mechanic who has the proper tools and expertise.
This Meyle kit is equivalent to VW part numbers 7E0412331 and 7E0412249 (and their variations like 7E0 412 331, 7E0 412 249). Other compatible numbers include MCX0561HD, 7E0412249A, 7E0412249B, 7E0412331A, 7H0412249A, 7H0412341A, 7LA412249, 7LA412331, and 7LA412331A.
No, this kit includes the top strut mount and rolling bearing only. It does not include the shock absorber or strut assembly itself.
The rolling bearing allows the entire strut assembly to rotate smoothly when you turn the steering wheel. This reduces stress on the steering system and contributes to easier, more precise steering.
This could indicate a worn strut mount. Ensure the kit was installed correctly with all fasteners torqued to specification. If the noise persists, the strut itself may be faulty or the kit may not be the correct part for your vehicle.
A faulty strut mount or bearing can cause these symptoms. Verify proper installation and confirm the kit is the correct part number for your VW model. Check for any other suspension components that may be worn.
While not directly caused by the strut mount, worn suspension components like these can contribute to alignment issues leading to tire wear. Ensure the vehicle's alignment is checked and adjusted after suspension work.
Compatibility: This Meyle strut mount and bearing kit is compatible with a wide range of VW T5 and T6 models, including Transporter V Bus, Multivan V, Transporter V Kastenwagen, Multivan VI, Transporter VI Bus, Transporter VI Kastenwagen, Transporter V Pritsche / Fahrgestell, California T6 Bus, and Transporter VI Pritsche / Fahrgestell. Always verify your vehicle's VIN and existing part numbers (OE: 7E0412331, 7E0 412 331, 7E0412249, 7E0 412 249) against the product specifications before purchase.
Setup: Installation of this kit requires specialized tools and knowledge of suspension system mechanics. It is crucial that this component is fitted by a qualified mechanic. The process typically involves disassembling the front strut assembly, replacing the old mount and bearing with the new Meyle parts, and reassembling the strut. Proper torque specifications must be followed for all fasteners.
Care: As a sealed component, the strut mount and bearing kit requires no regular user maintenance. However, it is advisable to have suspension components inspected periodically during routine vehicle maintenance checks. Keep the area around the strut towers clean to prevent debris buildup.
