Strut Top Roller Bearing

[fivish]

The offside collapsed and was replaced under warranty.
Then the nearside collapsed and was replaced under warranty.
Now the offside has again collapsed and its out of warranty!

The Trajet is coming up to 6 years old and has only done only 33,000 miles.

What do they make these things out of?

hello

I think i have this problem , but the dealer said it was £87 for the part ,he called it the "top mount strap"...

The steering clicks and with warrenty we have had this done twice....

is it the same thing?

[dandaz2]

oh and what is HOCGB?

[andycarter]

£87 sounds like the price for a strut top mount / bearing

Good question.

Last Saturday I have replaced both sides again - after 2.5y & 12000km only.
The ball bearings were still good, the left a little noisier but far from broken. The problem I had was the rubber. This got squeezed so much that the upper spring pad touched the mounting plate of the strut mount and was scratching and binding there, feelably impacting steering (and of course making clunking noises when turning the steering wheel).

No wonder though if seeing that the part is the same as on the Y3 Sonata - but the Jet weighs min. 400kg more.

The old and new were from Kayaba (KYB ). Hope they improved the material in the meantime. Are there any other manufacturers known to be better than the KYB parts ? Just in case I need new ones again in 2 years from now ...

KYB is the right choice...

Same problem with my Trajet, because of the water problem the bearing on the left was changed twice. Still no problems with the right side, it's the original one after 130.000 KM.
Here in Germany the "suspension mounting kit" from KYB ist not very expensive ( 35 € ). The Kayaba number is SM 5194.

Hi All
once a year I put some grease and a few drops of oil at the bearing . Just remove that coin size plastic cover and service it . My Jet is 12 years and never had this problem .
