Inside A Bad Strut Mount Bearing And What Causes It to Make Noise
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I feature a couple of strut mounts with an integrated bearing, one bad and one good. I go over how the strut mount works. I also show what the inside of the bad strut mount looks like and what causes it to make noise such as the one featured in the video linked below. I also go over what causes it.
Note: The strut mounts featured in the video has the bearing built into it. Some strut mounts do not come with an integrated bearing. It is the bearing portion of the strut mount that makes the noise discussed in the video. Strut mounts and bearings can and do fail in different manners.
Also, this video is only information. It is not a guarantee that the noise you hear on your vehicle, even if it sounds like the noise discussed, is a strut mount bearing.
Here is a link to that video discussed in the video and mentioned above.:

Great video showing the mechanism. Thanks a lot. Very educational, slowly building up my mechanical knowledge of cars up!

Great video
Could a strut mount also cause noise while driving? My sienna has a bad strut mount already know that, but while driving over 30+ mph it creates a noise all the time. I've narrowed it down to the strut, the strut looks to be fine.
Installed a pair of KYB's Strut-Plus ready struts on my 2012 Toyota Prius, 2nd pair by the way. These struts are making creak and squeak noises when steering at low speeds. This is the case with both sets received and stalled. Have you heard of bad mounts on new struts? It is my understanding that although KYB is the OEM for Toyota, Toyota does not use their mounts, I think I see why.

It's very possible to have bad mounts on new struts. But, it's pretty rare that your get two sets with the same problem.. You may need to be looking elsewhere for the source of your noise.
I installed brand new KYB Strut Plus units on my car and found that they now have a springy Clunk noise at the first instance of steering now. It only happens for the first few minutes when I drive. I have worked countless hours on this. Replaced Sway Bar's, Re-Torqued under load and followed all of KYB's support tech info plus trying to spray white Lithium grease into the bearing assembly from the side (Yes, they told me to do that too, and still have that springy clunk when I first steer the car left to right. 2009 Honda CRV and the issue was never present with the OEM strut assembly. Can anyone give me some advice here? I feel like KYB should be sued due to all the time I have spent on this plus 2 Wheel Alignments after the post work done.......beyond frustrated.
Can this be rebuilt..if ball-bearing not lost ?like pack it full of grease again ?

I don't know. You'll need to find out if they are bad I guess.
I have a video on my page if anyone wants to check out. It’s my F-150, making a squeal or squeaking noise only when turning under load. I’ve been told it’s the strut mount. There is no knocking whatsoever
