The front strut is mounted to the chassis with this mount. A rubber bushing isolates the car from road shocks and allows the strut to shift and bend. A bearing allows the strut rod to rotate instead of bind. When the strut mount fails it will produce a clunk or groaning sound, especially when turning or cornering. New mounts should be installed with new shocks to prevent damage to the new parts.
This part is manufactured by an aftermarket supplier of European auto parts, including many suspension components. While not carrying OEM status, this part follows the design of the original very closely and uses similar materials. An aftermarket part may even have the same TUV approval as its OEM counterpart. The brand may even be OEM to another manufacturer besides BMW. This aftermarket brand has a two year warranty - the same as Genuine BMW and OEM brands.
