The top of the strut is connected to the vehicle body through the upper strut mount, in some cases called a bearing plate. This bearing plate allows the strut to pivot as the wheels are turned. It must be flexible enough to handle slight angle changes and dampen movement of the upper end of the strut. This mount or bearing plate transfers vehicle load to the strut and spring, making the upper mount/bearing plate the load carrier and the lower ball joint the follower.I found this on the Monroe site.
I believe the 2005 is the same as the 2002. The upper strut mount has a large rubber mount inside the upper strut mount. The rubber gets old and detaches from the upper mount. If you put your finger inside the upper mount and touch the top of the strut shaft with your finger, rock the car back and fourth pretty vigorously and if the center shaft moves the upper strut mount needs to be replaced.
You will need to take the entire strut off. and you may need a spring compressor. to compress the spring so that you will not be injured. once the spring is compressed or you can squeeze with you hand take the top center nut off and just replace with new mount. You will also need to get you car for an alignment.
Could be a loose or worn strut or strut mount
Strut mount and suspension strut mount are very crucial parts of the vehicle. These are the aftermarket auto parts manufactured to replace the damaged original parts in any vehicle. Sujan Industries is the leading manufacturer and supplier of these two crucial aftermarket auto components in India and abroad. Here, all the products are long-lasting, help to extend the longevity of the auto car and also provide driver and passenger satisfaction. Strut mount is used to attach the suspension strut to the vehicle. It aids in minimizing vibration and tire noise. Its front part helps to link to the strut assembly to the car and the rear part is attached to the strut. In the middle, a rubber-like cushioning material is used. So when the car comes over any bumps during motion, the agitation pushes and pulls at the mount. The suspension strut mount absorbs the vibration and noise and the entire strut helps to minimize the noise and vibrations from spreading out. It is located at the top of the suspension strut assembly. Its main function is to mitigate vibrations and shocks. At Sujan Industries, all the auto parts are of premium quality, customized and affordable. So for any related requirements, get in touch.
