FAG Suspension Strut Mount Bearing 805968 For Audi And Volkswagen

Designation: 805968 Bearings

Type: Suspension Strut Bearings

Rolling Bearings and Components for Passenger Car Chassis

A strut bearing made of high-quality hardened steel, grease, and plastic components that ensure: 

- Steering comfort 

- Better manoeuvrability 

- Optimal product life

Strut bearings form part of the wheel suspension in independent suspension systems. The wheel suspension has the task of ensuring maximum driving safety and ride quality while providing accurate steering. It must also transfer tire-road contact forces to the vehicle frame and isolate the body from road noise, while being as lightweight as possible.

To accomplish these objectives, the components in the suspension system must be correctly matched to one another, which requires close cooperation between the suspension or chassis manufacturer and the system supplier.

Proven competence and experience in the design, analysis, and manufacture of suspension strut bearings have long established TKW as a winning partner in designing solutions for a wide range of technical applications. Working closely with customers, TKW has developed strut bearings that:

■ Absorb radial and axial forces

■ Ensure low-friction and distortion-free movement of the shockabsorber spring during steering and deflection, enabling the spring to operate without self-aligning torque

■ Locate the shock-absorber spring and form a support surface for full deflection of the shock absorber

■ Can be used with coupled and uncoupled suspension struts

■ Are rigid and lightweight

■ Help isolate the body from road noise

■ Have a compact design that has been optimized for limited mounting space and are supplied as a sealed unit

■ Are easy to assemble and can be installed using robots

■ Are maintenance-free

Extensive testing using special test rigs and defined test standards, as well as stringent process and function controls, ensure that all customer requirements are met.

100% SAFETY AND COMFORT 

TKW recommends changing the strut bearing and strut mount each time the shock absorber is changed: between 75,000 and 100,000 kilometres, in pairs, or when the top mounts or surrounding parts are worn. It is important to systematically replace all the parts supplied in the TKW kits (screws, caps, etc.) and to never reassemble a damaged part. A worn kit that has not been replaced causes noise, vibration, stiffness when steering, uncomfortable driving, and can result in up to 15% more braking distance!
