What Bad Strut Mounts (with built in bearings) Sound Like

In this video I'll give you a good example of what a bad strut mount, that has an integral strut bearing, sounds like. The audio is pretty good however, the sound is a little different in person. Note, this is typically what a bad strut mount, that has an integral strut bearing, sounds like but it is not always the case. I don't make the claim that if you are hearing this sound that it automatically means that its a bad strut mount. You should alway perform a thorough chassis diagnosis before making a call on replacing a part. The video is only meant to serve as an example of what it could sound like when a strut mount, such as the one featured in the video, goes bad.

Please note: the vehicle featured in the video is equipped with strut mounts that has strut bearings integral to them. Some vehicles have strut bearings that are sold separately from the strut mount. In this case you would need to purchase bearings with the strut mounts if you are attempting to fix a noisy strut bearing. The noise in the video is from the bearing portion of the strut mount. If you have a vehicle that is equipped with a like set up and the noise is coming from the bearings in the strut mount then you would need to purchase strut mounts. Just to clear up any confusion.
