Corteco top mount strut sales rocket by 300 per cent

This year's success has been put down to an 'uncertainty' about the variable quality of aftermarket parts

Corteco top mount strut sales rocket by 300 per cent
Top struts are safety critical items, which is why it is important to source a top quality brand.

Corteco says sales of top mount struts have increased by over 300 per cent this year and the success of its OE quality message and an association with the Original Equipment Suppliers Aftermarket Association are two major reasons given why aftermarket installers are fitting more of them.

Suspension strut mounts play a vital role integrating the suspension strut and bearing spring with the body of the car.

They isolate the dynamic forces of the suspension strut and the spring thus avoiding the transfer of vibration to the vehicle body.

Corteco marketing manager, Steve Jarnet said: “Now that engine mounts are subject to MOT testing, alongside general uncertainty about the variable quality of replacement parts in the UK aftermarket, the demand for Corteco engine mounts is riding high.

“Increasing numbers of vehicles in the UK car parc are equipped with engine mounts that contain very complex technology.

“However, not all of the available replacement brands are OE quality, which means they are unable to deliver the same level of complexity and performance that Corteco’s expertise can provide.”

Steve explained that top struts are safety critical items, which is why it is important to source a top quality brand.

Any damage to the suspension strut or strut mount can have a detrimental impact on road safety.

“Braking distances are extended, contact with the road is reduced, while steering and cornering ability rapidly deteriorates,” he added.
