VW ID4/ID6 Suspension Strut Bearing – Part Number: 5Q0412249E

The VW ID.4/ID.6 Suspension Strut Bearing with Part Number: 5Q0412249E is a critical component of the suspension system in these electric vehicles. It plays a key role in the proper functioning of the strut assembly, which is part of the vehicle’s front suspension system.

Key Functions:

• Supports the Strut: The strut bearing serves as the upper mounting point for the suspension strut. It allows the strut to pivot and rotate when the steering wheel is turned (in vehicles with McPherson strut suspension), which is essential for proper steering and handling.
• Reduces Friction: It acts as a bearing surface that helps to reduce friction between the strut and the vehicle’s chassis, enabling smooth movement of the strut as the wheels move up and down in response to road conditions.
• Noise and Vibration Dampening: In addition to its mechanical function, the strut bearing often incorporates materials that help to absorb road noise and vibrations, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable ride.
• Alignment and Stability: The bearing helps maintain proper alignment of the strut, ensuring that it remains securely in place and functions correctly for optimal suspension performance, handling, and safety.
