Womala Front shock absorber top rubber bearing LR018785 for Land Rover Discovery Sport Freelander 2

Product Overview

Also known as a shock absorber insulator or strut bearing, this bearing sits at the top of the front strut assembly, allowing the strut to rotate with the steering while carrying the vehicle's suspension load. Over time, the bearing can wear out, leading to knocking or creaking noises when turning, notchy steering, or clunks over bumps.

Key Features

• Front axle position – fits both left and right front wheels

• Roller bearing design – allows smooth strut rotation during steering

• OE-grade quality – manufactured to original equipment specifications

• Direct-fit replacement – matches factory mounting points and dimensions

• Suspension load bearing – supports front strut and vehicle weight

OE Cross-Reference

Vehicle Fitment

Specifications:

• Outer Diameter: 113mm

• Inner Diameter: 35mm

• Thickness: 65mm

⚠️ Important: This bearing fits the front axle on both left and right sides. The rear suspension uses a different mounting design. Fitment applies to models listed above – verify with VIN before ordering.

Signs of Failure

• Knocking or creaking noise – from the top of the strut when turning the steering wheel

• Notchy steering – steering feels rough or uneven

• Clunking over bumps – noise from front suspension when driving over uneven surfaces

• Worn bearing – common wear item on Freelander 2, Evoque, and Discovery Sport

💡 Strut top bearings typically wear at a similar rate on both sides – it is recommended to replace them in pairs whenever the front struts or springs are removed. The LR018785 covers one side, so two are required for a complete pair replacement.

Critical – Verify Your VIN Before Ordering

Suspension bearings are VIN‑, model‑, and year‑specific. Variations in chassis type (L359 vs. L538 vs. L550), production date, and VIN range affect fitment. Provide your VIN – our team confirms exact compatibility before dispatch. We cannot accept returns for misordered parts without VIN verification.

💡 Installation Tip: Professional installation recommended. When replacing the strut bearing, inspect the strut mount and springs for wear at the same time. Torque all fasteners to manufacturer specifications.
