Top mount kit

Replacing the bearing and the top mount at the same time and on both sides of the vehicle is essential for maximum comfort, stability and safety. These high performance components allow the strut to rotate smoothly with effective load capacity and shock absorption.

Features and performance

  • Top mounts made of high-quality rubber with metal inserts: ensure 25% less vibration and 20% less steering effort.
  • Compact and light-weight design: facilitates installation and reduces friction and noise levels for a comfortable drive.
  • Latest high-performance seal design: includes multiple elastomer seal lips and deflectors to prevent pollution ingress for longer bearing life.

SKF offer

  • SKF kits include suspension bearing, top mount, rubber pad* and mounting nuts/bolts if necessary.
  • Available as pre-mounted units or separate components.
  • SKF recommends to always replace both top mount and bearing at the same time to avoid uneven wear and repeat repairs.
  • Range covers core European and Asian car models on our roads today for both front and rear axles.

Suspension bearing kit

For comfort, stability and safety

Suspension bearings serve as the upper pivot points for the steering system and allow for smooth handling, comfortable breaking and safe operation.

Features and performance

  • Compact and light-weight design: facilitates installation and reduces friction and noise levels for a comfortable drive.
  • High chromium hardened steel: ensures increased stiffness and stability for a longer service life.
  • Specially designed angular contact raceways for robust MacPherson bearings: improves stiffness allowing a 40% increase in radial load capacity from the spring, for more stability and noise reduction.
  • Reinforced plastic and fibre glass upper and lower washers: ensure extra strength, easy mounting and low weight.
  • Greased and sealed for life: high-performance grease which resists humidity, vibrations and very low temperatures (-40°C).
  • Latest high-performance sealing design: multiple elastomer seal lips and deflectors prevent pollution ingress and promote longer bearing life under harsh conditions.
  • Integrated robust metal/reinforced plastic spring seat: guides and supports the radial and axial spring loads for more stiffness and less noise.

*According to OE specifications

SKF offer

  • OE quality bearings including specific features for different vehicle performance parameters.
  • Kits are available as single or twin packs including rubber pads*.
