✔ Genuine OEM Suspension Component (General Motors/GM)
✔ Part Number: 13505131 (GM Original Equipment/OE Number)
✔ Component Name: Front Suspension Strut Mount Assembly (Absorber Mounting, Top Strut Mounting)
✔ Primary Application: GM Delta II Platform Vehicles: * Chevrolet Cruze (First Generation): Used widely across the model years, typically 2011–2016 (or 2019 in some regions/variants). * Chevrolet Orlando: Used for the compact MPV model (approx. 2011–2015). * Opel/Vauxhall Astra J: This part number is also cross-referenced with the Opel/Vauxhall Astra J (approx. 2010 onwards) and other related GM/Daewoo vehicles (e.g., Chevrolet Volt, Holden Trax).
✔ Type: Includes the main Suspension Strut Rubber Mount and typically the integrated Ball Bearing (Anti-Friction Bearing).
✔ Quantity Required: Two (2) required per vehicle (one for the front Left side, one for the front Right side).
✔ Function: The mounting assembly sits at the top of the front shock absorber (strut). It secures the strut to the vehicle's chassis, acts as a pivot point for steering, and uses rubber isolation to dampen noise and vibration transmitted from the road to the cabin.
This is a Genuine OEM Front Suspension Strut Mount Assembly, identified by the General Motors (GM) part number 13505131. This critical component is designed to be the factory-original, standardized part for the front suspension of the popular Chevrolet Cruze sedan and the Chevrolet Orlando MPV, both built on the GM Delta II platform.
This part is often referred to as the "Absorber Mounting Front" and typically includes the necessary shock absorber bearing integrated within the assembly. This bearing allows the strut to rotate smoothly when the steering wheel is turned.
Using the Genuine Part (13505131) ensures:
Guaranteed Fitment: Manufactured to the exact specifications for a perfect fit into the strut tower, which is crucial for suspension geometry and alignment.
Optimal Damping and Isolation: The rubber compound is engineered by GM/Opel/Daewoo to provide the correct hardness and resilience, ensuring maximum noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) isolation and proper suspension damping performance.
Steering Performance: The integrated strut bearing is manufactured to high standards, ensuring light, smooth, and consistent steering response, which is essential for vehicle control and driver comfort.
Failure of this mount (indicated by clunking noises over bumps or difficult/noisy steering) necessitates replacement, and using a Genuine part ensures the full restoration of the vehicle's original ride quality and steering feel.
