Types of Strut Mount We Manufacture
GDST manufactures high-quality strut mount replacements for the global automotive aftermarket. Our strut mounts provide excellent vibration absorption, durability, and reliable performance for different vehicle applications.
Front Strut Mount
Installed above the front strut on steering-wheel applications, the front mount supports suspension loads while allowing the strut assembly to rotate as the vehicle turns. It typically incorporates a bearing and has a more complex structure because it is exposed to frequent steering movement, vibration, and continuous road loads.
- Bearing-equipped designs support smooth steering rotation.
- Built to withstand repeated steering, impact, and suspension loads.
- A high-turnover aftermarket item with strong replacement demand.
Rear Strut Mount
Installed on conventional non-steering rear suspension applications, the rear mount primarily secures the strut and isolates road vibration from the vehicle body. Because it does not need to rotate with steering movement, it generally uses a simpler rubber-and-metal construction without a bearing.
- Designed for non-steering rear applications without a rotation bearing.
- Rubber construction helps isolate vibration, impact, and road noise.
- Simple, durable construction typically delivers a long service life.
Application-Specific Quality Control
Front and rear strut mounts are engineered to OE application requirements rather than treated as interchangeable products. Front assemblies are inspected for bearing fit, rotational performance, rubber bonding, and dimensional accuracy, while rear mounts are verified for rubber hardness, bonding strength, vibration-isolation performance, and correct fitment. Every order receives final inspection before shipment.

Strut Mounts: Technical & Sourcing Guide
Based on years of manufacturing experience, GDST answers common questions about strut mount quality, installation, failures and aftermarket applications.
How can I identify a high-quality strut mount?
A high-quality strut mount should have reliable materials, precise manufacturing, and stable performance.
When checking a strut mount, you can pay attention to:
- Rubber quality: High-grade rubber should have good elasticity, uniform appearance and no cracks or defects.
- Metal components: The metal base should be strong, well-finished and free from rust or deformation.
- Bearing performance: The bearing should rotate smoothly without abnormal noise or resistance.
- Assembly quality: All components should fit correctly without looseness.
At GDST, we use high-quality natural rubber, durable metal components and strict quality control processes to ensure consistent product performance.
What should I check before purchasing strut mounts from a supplier?
When selecting a strut mount supplier, price is important, but product consistency and reliability are equally critical.
We recommend checking:
- Material specifications: Confirm the rubber compound, metal material and component quality.
- Testing capability: Ask whether the supplier performs durability, aging, fatigue and environmental tests.
- Production experience: A manufacturer with professional production processes can better control quality.
- After-sales support: Reliable warranty policies and technical support help reduce potential risks.
GDST provides stable aftermarket strut mount solutions with controlled production processes and quality inspection before shipment.
Why does a new strut mount make noise after installation?
A new strut mount may make noise due to installation issues or related suspension problems, not always because of product quality.
Common causes include:
- Incorrect bolt tightening torque causing looseness or excessive stress.
- Improper installation position causing abnormal rubber loading.
- Bearing installation problems affecting smooth rotation.
- Other worn suspension components creating additional noise.
Proper installation according to vehicle specifications is important to ensure the best performance of the strut mount.
What are the most common installation mistakes for strut mounts?
Common installation mistakes include:
- Incorrect tightening method: Using incorrect tools or torque values may cause bolts to loosen or damage components.
- Tightening before the suspension returns to normal position: The rubber element may be twisted under abnormal stress, reducing service life.
- Installing in an unclean environment: Dust or debris entering the bearing area may affect rotation performance.
Following correct installation procedures can significantly reduce early failures.
Can incorrect installation cause premature strut mount failure?
Yes. Even a high-quality strut mount can experience early failure if installed incorrectly.
Common installation-related failures include:
- Rubber deformation caused by incorrect positioning.
- Abnormal noise caused by improper bearing installation.
- Reduced rubber life caused by continuous twisting stress.
- Premature wear caused by contamination during installation.
Professional installation helps the product achieve its designed service life.
How can distributors reduce strut mount warranty claims?
Warranty issues are often related to product selection, installation and vehicle conditions.
Distributors can reduce claims by:
- Choosing suppliers with stable quality control systems.
- Providing correct installation guidance to customers.
- Ensuring the correct application and vehicle fitment.
- Understanding whether failures are caused by installation or product defects.
GDST supports customers with technical communication and product information to help reduce after-sales issues.
Which problems are not caused by strut mount quality?
Some reported problems may come from other factors, including:
- Worn suspension components such as shock absorbers or control arms.
- Incorrect installation procedures.
- Incorrect vehicle application selection.
- Lack of proper positioning during installation.
A complete suspension system diagnosis is recommended before replacing components.
