Front Suspension Strut Top Bearing sits at the top of the front suspension strut, between the upper spring seat and the strut mounting.

It lets the strut and coil spring rotate with the steering while isolating the mounting from spring and road-borne noise. A worn top bearing typically produces a knocking or creaking noise from the front suspension when turning.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LR018785 front strut top bearing?
The LR018785 is a front suspension strut top bearing, also called a shock absorber insulator, for the Freelander 2, Range Rover Evoque L538, and Discovery Sport. It sits at the top of the front strut and lets the strut rotate with the steering while carrying suspension load.
How many strut top bearings do I need?
You typically need two, one per front strut, since they wear at a similar rate on the Freelander 2, Evoque L538, and Discovery Sport. The LR018785 covers one side. They're usually replaced in pairs whenever the front struts or springs are off the vehicle.
Which vehicles use this front strut top bearing?
This front strut top bearing fits the Freelander 2 2006-2014, Range Rover Evoque L538 2012-2018, and Discovery Sport 2015 onwards. These share the same front strut design. Confirm you're working on the front suspension, as the rear uses a different mounting.
What are the symptoms of a worn strut top bearing?
A worn front strut top bearing usually causes knocking or creaking from the top of the strut when turning, notchy steering, or clunks over bumps. On the Freelander 2, Evoque L538, and Discovery Sport it's a common wear item, often replaced alongside the strut and top mount.
