Strut Bearing

As an OEM supplier, SKF ensures that this strut bearing meets or exceeds the original equipment's design and quality standards. This component plays a crucial role in the suspension system, contributing to a smoother driving experience by reducing road noises, vibrations, and suspension harshness. Beyond noise reduction, the primary function of this strut bearing is to facilitate smoother steering input and help maintain accurate front-end alignment. Importantly, this product is the upper strut bearing only and does NOT include the strut mount part number 5Q0412331D, which must be sourced separately if needed. The SKF Upper Strut Bearing is compatible with a wide range of VW and Audi MQB platform vehicles from 2014 through 2025, covering models like the Audi A3, S3, Q3, and various VW Golf, GTI, Alltrack, Sportwagen, and Tiguan variants. Specific fitment includes numerous engine and drive type combinations, such as 1.8T, 2.0T, 1.4T, 1.5T engines and FWD, Quattro, and 4Motion drivetrains, across different model years and submodels.
