Suspension Strut Mount Overview

Westar ST-8923 is a rear suspension strut mount built for specific Audi and Volkswagen applications. It provides the pivot point, locking support, and noise isolation needed to keep the suspension operating correctly.

Key Features

• Rear strut mount for suspension systems that require controlled rotation and secure body-to-strut attachment.
• Helps maintain steering response and reduce uneven tire and component wear.
• Built with noise-dampening support to reduce road vibration transfer into the cabin.
• Finished to help improve appearance and extend service life.
• Westar ST-8923 is engineered for application-specific fitment.

Detailed Description

This suspension strut mount is designed for rear installation on select Audi TT, Audi TT Quattro, Audi A3, Audi A3 Quattro, and Volkswagen Passat, Tiguan, CC, Saveiro, and Bora models. Westar ST-8923 helps secure the strut and body together while allowing the suspension to pivot within proper operating dynamics. The mount also adds a damping layer that reduces noise and vibration transfer, which is important for ride quality and long-term suspension performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 908923) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or vibration from a worn strut mount.
• Excess cabin noise caused by degraded mount isolation.
• Poor suspension pivot control that can affect tire wear.
• Loose or unstable strut-to-body attachment.
• Ride harshness from a mount that no longer dampens road input effectively.
