Description
This Ex-Japan shock mounting (strut top mount) is a genuine Subaru OEM part designed for the fourth-generation Impreza (G4). Because the G4 was engineered with a focus on fuel efficiency and “Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control,” the mounting plays a vital role in maintaining the car’s balanced center of gravity and responsive steering.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Japanese Vulcanized Rubber: Sourced from vehicles driven on Japan’s smooth roads, the rubber in these mounts hasn’t been “compressed” or hardened by the extreme potholes found locally. It retains its ability to absorb sharp impacts.
-
OEM Thrust Bearing: Typically includes the original high-grade Japanese bearing. This allows the strut to swivel effortlessly when you turn the wheel, preventing the “memory steer” (where the steering doesn’t return to center) common with cheap replacements.
-
Perfect Fitment: Guaranteed to align with the three-bolt strut tower pattern of the GJ/GP chassis. No modifications or “forcing” are required, which prevents damage to the strut tower itself.
-
Structural Integrity: Unlike some lightweight aftermarket versions, the steel base of this genuine mount is thick enough to resist “mushrooming” or bending under heavy loads.
