Strut Assembly

MacPHERSON STRUT
The strut consists of a coil spring and interior damper with welded on spring cup, steering arm mounting and steering swivel member.
The damper of gas filled twin-tube type is not integral with the strut and can be replaced separately. The damper is secured in the spring base mounting.
To give the damper piston a long service life, it is well protected against dirt and moisture by a rubber gaiter. The end travel stop and rubber gaiter form a single unit.

NOTE: The steering swivel member is the main component in the wheel bearing assembly and consists of a bearing housing, which is integrated with the strut, and a ball joint mounting.
