A common problem occurs on the Skoda Octavia with noise and squeaking from the front axle, even with OE parts according to Febi Bilstein.
Febi said: “These problems are caused by poor manufacturing and the use of inferior materials for the strut top mounting.
“This is often due to the rubber metal compound dissolving due to insufficient vulcanization, which leads to a high failure rate.
“Febi’s strut top mounting (22500) is characterised by high-grade material and professional manufacturing, with strict quality controls.
“This ensures our mountings are very durable, with a long service life.
“Febi also recommends that the strut top mounting bearing (22498) should be replaced.
“We offer a repair kit (22502) which contains all the necessary components for a full replacement, including the strut top mounting (22500) and ball bearing (22498).”
Febi supplies more than 1,000 parts for the Skoda Octavia including steering, rubber metal and electrical components.
