The SKF assortment of suspension kits covers front- and rear end suspension arm kits for European and Asian cars. The suspension kits include the most important upper suspension components such as bearing, filtering block and accessories.

The high quality bearing in an SKF suspension kit allows the MacPherson strut to rotate with less friction. 100 000 km is equivalent to 1 million rotations for the bearing which places high demands on the application.

The lifespan of components is dependent on driving conditions and the outside climate. The filtering block performance is impacted for instance by temperature, the road quality and accidents causing permanent mechanical deformation. A worn out filtering block transfers vibrations and noise through the chassis reducing the driving experience.

The McPherson bearing performance is impacted by corrosion from road salt, ring destruction from potholes and micro vibration damages. As result, the suspension geometry might be affected which influence safety.

When installing an SKF suspension kit, the bearing and the filtering block guarantees the performance of the suspension by reducing the steering torque, cracking noises and vibrations while increasing the steering precision.
