Bearing Absorber Front > HYUNDAI I10 / KIA PICANTO 2004-2018 / RIO UB > 54612-0U000 > GENUINE PART

This is a Genuine OEM Front Shock Absorber Bearing, identified by the part number 54612-0U000. This component is critical for the operation of the MacPherson strut suspension system in several compact Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including the Hyundai i10, the first two generations of the Kia Picanto (SA and TA chassis), and the third-generation Kia Rio (UB chassis). This part number is often an updated or interchangeable version of $54612\text{-}07000$.

The Absorber Bearing (or strut mount bearing) is a thrust bearing that sits between the strut mount and the coil spring upper seat. Its primary job is to allow the entire strut assembly (coil spring and damper) to pivot smoothly on the strut tower as the driver steers the wheels. When this bearing fails, it typically causes:

Grinding or popping noises when turning the steering wheel.
Stiff steering or poor steering wheel returnability.
Premature wear on the strut mount.
Replacing a worn bearing with the Genuine Part ensures:

✔ Direct Fit & Rotation: Guarantees correct fitment and enables the intended low-friction rotation for smooth steering.

✔ Noise Elimination: Resolves grinding/popping noises related to turning the steering wheel.

✔ Longevity: Protects the strut mount and overall front suspension components.
