{"product_id":"strut-mount-44","title":"Strut Mount","description":"The MINI OE Suspension Strut Bearing, also referred to as a \"guide support\" by MINI or a front upper strut mount by mechanics, is crucial for the proper function of your Mini Cooper's suspension system. Over time, these mounts can flatten or tear due to road impacts like potholes, leading to issues such as creaking when turning the wheels or clunking noises. It can also cause excessive camber on one side of the vehicle, which becomes apparent during alignments.\n\nThis is a genuine OEM part, ensuring the quality and fitment that MINI intended. It replaces previous part numbers 31306764884 and 31306769741. The bearing is sold individually, so two units are required to replace both the left and right front strut mounts. When installing, ensure the bearing grease seal is transferred from the old unit to the new one.\n\nInstallation is recommended to be performed by a professional due to the involvement of coil springs. After installation, an alignment is highly recommended, especially if the vehicle has encountered significant road impacts or if tires have been changed. Replacing the strut mount can help address alignment issues and restore proper handling. It is also advised to check for or replace the guide support cover if missing, as it helps protect the bearings.","brand":"MINI OE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52689165746488,"sku":"31-30-6-778-833","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687390095.jpg?v=1784902845","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/strut-mount-44","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
