Suspension Strut Top Bearing Repair
Your vehicle’s suspension system relies on dozens of components working together to deliver a smooth, predictable driving experience. One of the most important yet often overlooked parts is the strut top bearing—a small but essential component that allows the strut to rotate and respond properly as you steer. When this bearing wears out, the result can be increased steering effort, unsettling noises, and a noticeable decline in ride comfort. At Raven’s Auto Repair, with trusted locations in Garden Grove and Fullerton, California, our certified technicians offer dependable suspension strut top bearing repair for all makes and models.
A worn strut top bearing can create a variety of symptoms that drivers tend to notice during slow turns, parking maneuvers, or when traveling over uneven surfaces. You may hear creaking, clunking, grinding, or popping from the upper portion of the suspension, especially near the shock tower. Another common indicator is heavy or jerky steering, where the wheel doesn’t feel as smooth as it once did. In some cases, the steering wheel may even fail to return to center naturally after completing a turn. Excessive vibration through the wheel or reduced suspension responsiveness can also point to a failing strut bearing.
