BMW i3 Front Strut Top Mount with Bearing
This front strut top mount with ball bearing sits at the top of the front suspension strut on the BMW i3. It isolates road noise from the body and the bearing lets the strut turn smoothly as you steer. The same mount fits the left or right side.
A worn top mount usually knocks over bumps, creaks or groans when you turn the steering at low speed, or makes the steering feel notchy.
