top strut bearing

top strut bearing

top strut bearing

(OP)
I am developing a modified front suspension that requires a custom top strut bearing.  Can anyone recommend a company that can work with me on developing this component?  My annual requirement will be several hundred to 2000 units.

Thank you,

RE: top strut bearing


Are you sure it doesn't exist already?

RE: top strut bearing

(OP)
Hi Fabrico,  I'm reasonably sure it does not exist.  I am changing the design from a bag-over strut to a coil-over strut, ... so at the minimum I need to add the spring seat.

RE: top strut bearing


Still don't know what you are up to, but using a coil spring on a strut is extremely common. The upper spring seat us usually affixed to the strut shaft so it all rotates together. Above that is a flexibly mounted bearing.
