Your car is a complex machine made up of simple machines that have many different parts and processes that must be checked for breakage, leaks, and wear. One part that is very important to maintain is the strut mount. Struts have replaced shock absorbers on cars over the last few decades due to their ability to bear loads that are not solely parallel to the direction of the strut compression. The struts have mounts that keep the wheel perpendicular to the road and when the mount breaks it causes the tire to ride either on the outer or inner side wall. When this occurs it is not long before the tire blows out. Consequently it is very important to check the strut mounts and keep them in good working order.
