Why should I replace my strut mounts when replacing struts?

Strut mounts are a critical suspension component that supports the vehicle's weight and allows for steering. Over time, the rubber can degrade, leading to noise and vibration. Replacing them with new struts ensures optimal suspension performance and a smoother ride.

What is the function of the bearing plate in a strut mount?

The bearing plate is part of the strut mount assembly and serves as the steering pivot for your front wheels. It allows the strut to rotate when you turn the steering wheel and is essential for maintaining proper wheel alignment.

Do these strut mounts come with all the necessary hardware?

This KYB Strut Mount kit includes matched grade studs and nuts, which are essential for a secure installation. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware requirements.

INFINITI Q45 1997-2001

Product Details

When you're replacing the struts on your 1997-2001 INFINITI Q45, it's the perfect time to swap out the old strut mounts. These mounts are critical because they sit right at the top of your strut assembly, supporting the vehicle's weight and acting as the pivot point for steering. Over time, the rubber in these mounts can break down, leading to extra noise, vibration, and even affecting how your steering feels.

KYB's strut mounts are built to OE specifications, meaning they'll perform just like the original parts did when your Q45 was new. They help absorb the harsh impacts from road bumps, reducing that jarring feeling and the noise that can travel into the cabin. The bearing plates included in these mounts are especially important; they allow your wheels to turn smoothly and are key to maintaining proper wheel alignment. Using matched grade studs and nuts ensures a solid connection to the rest of your suspension.

Replacing these mounts along with your struts is a smart move. It ensures that your suspension system is working together effectively, giving you a more comfortable and controlled driving experience. It's a straightforward replacement when you're already doing the struts, and it makes a noticeable difference in ride quality and steering response.
