Product Overview

The strut mount, part number 1377471, is a front strut mount and bearing used across the shared Ford C1 platform, covering the Mazda 3 (BK chassis, also sold as the Axela), Ford Focus and C-Max, and Volvo S40, V50, and C30, model years 2004-2013. Since this mount spans three brands built on the same platform, it's a genuinely high-turnover part for anyone stocking suspension components for these related compact cars.

Worn or failing units typically show up as a knocking or clunking noise from the front suspension over bumps, a creaking sound when turning the steering wheel, or uneven tire wear linked to suspension alignment changes. GSK Auto manufactures this strut mount to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

(Confirm against your VIN or chassis code before ordering - this mount spans three brands (Mazda, Ford, Volvo) built on the shared C1 platform, so it's worth double-checking the exact model and generation before ordering at volume.)

What Is a Strut Mount?

Function: The strut mount connects the top of the front strut assembly to the vehicle's body, allowing the strut to pivot as the wheel turns while also supporting the vehicle's weight at that corner and absorbing road vibration.

Working Principle: A rubber isolator inside the mount allows the strut to rotate smoothly as the steering turns the wheel, while a bearing inside the mount reduces friction during that rotation, and the rubber also dampens vibration and noise from the suspension before it reaches the cabin.

Importance: A worn strut mount affects both ride quality and steering feel, since a deteriorated mount can allow excess play or noise in the suspension, and in more advanced cases can affect wheel alignment and tire wear patterns.

Common Failures & Signs: Rubber isolator deterioration causing excess play or noise. Knocking or clunking noise from the front suspension over bumps. Creaking or groaning noise when turning the steering wheel at low speed. Uneven tire wear linked to suspension geometry changes from a worn mount.
