Strut mounts are used to provide a pivot point and area on which to mount the strut assembly. The mount is typically found at the top of the strut assembly and is only used on more compact vehicles that employ MacPherson-type struts. Named after their designer, MacPherson struts are typically used in the front of the vehicle (although they can also be used in the back) where they provide the steering pivot and suspension mounting for the wheel.

A strut mount is usually made of rubber with a bearing in the center to allow the strut to turn left or right, depending on the steering. As an integral part of the suspension, it is important to replace the strut mount whenever replacing the strut assembly. Regular wear and tear can damage the mount, leading the suspension to be far less effective and potentially causing other vehicle problems as well.

Although replacing a strut mount can be done from home, it requires the use of a spring compressor. Strut mounts hold the springs of the suspension under hundreds of pounds of pressure. If an individual were to try to remove the mount without the proper tools, they could easily expose themselves to injury. As with any mechanical repair, it is imperative to clearly understand the proper procedures to follow.
