SACHS front top shock strut mount
Sachs OE number 802200

A shock absorber top mount is an essential component of a car's suspension system. It is located at the top of the shock absorber and is responsible for providing a stable connection between the chassis of the car and the suspension strut. The primary function of the shock absorber top mount is to absorb the vibrations and shocks produced by rough road surfaces, bumps, and potholes, thereby ensuring smooth driving experience for the occupants of the vehicle. It also helps in minimizing the noise and harshness that might occur due to the impact of these rough surfaces.

In addition to this, the shock absorber top mount acts as a pivot point for the steering system of the car. It aids in maintaining proper alignment between the wheels and the steering system of the car, which enhances vehicle stability while driving at high speeds. The shock absorber top mount is made up of high-quality materials such as rubber, metal, and plastic to ensure durability and withstand the impacts of the road surfaces. It is imperative to have the shock absorber top mount inspected regularly to ensure that it is functioning correctly, and any signs of wear and tear should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage to the suspension system of the car.
