Bearing Absorber Front > HYUNDAI SANTAFE CM 2007 / STAREX > 54612-4D000 > GENUINE PART
✔ Genuine OEM Suspension Component (Mounting Bearing)
✔ Part Number: 54612-4D000 (Hyundai Genuine)
✔ Component Name: Bearing Absorber Front (Front Strut Mount Bearing)
✔ Designed for specific Hyundai platforms: Hyundai Santa Fe (Second Gen CM chassis, earlier models) and the Hyundai Starex van/minibus (likely the H-1 or Grand Starex).
✔ Location: Front Axle Suspension (located within the strut mount assembly, atop the strut tower)
✔ Function: Facilitates smooth rotation of the front strut assembly when steering, reducing friction and ensuring light, responsive steering.
✔ Essential for eliminating steering binding/noise and maintaining the integrity of the strut mount, especially important for heavier vehicles like the Starex.
This is a Genuine OEM Front Shock Absorber Bearing, identified by the part number 54612-4D000. This component is critical for the MacPherson strut suspension system in the mid-size SUV Hyundai Santa Fe (CM chassis, early 2007 models) and the heavy-duty van/minibus Hyundai Starex.
The Absorber Bearing (or strut mount bearing) is a robust thrust bearing that sits within the front strut mount. Its primary role is to allow the entire strut assembly (damper and coil spring) to pivot smoothly on the strut tower as the driver steers the wheels. Given the weight of these vehicles, the bearing is highly stressed. Failure of this bearing is a common issue that causes:
Loud grinding or binding noises from the front suspension when steering.
Stiff steering or the steering wheel failing to return to the center position easily.
Replacing a worn bearing with the Genuine Part ensures:
✔ Direct Fit & Rotation: Guarantees correct fitment and enables the intended low-friction rotation for smooth, quiet steering.
✔ Noise Elimination: Resolves grinding/binding issues related to turning the steering wheel.
✔ Load Integrity: Designed to handle the weight and steering requirements of both the Santa Fe and Starex.
