This is a Genuine OEM Front Shock Absorber Bearing, identified by the part number 54612-L1000. This component is a highly standardized and critical part of the MacPherson strut suspension system, used across many of Hyundai and Kia's latest generation vehicles built on shared platforms (mid-2020s models and newer).
The Absorber Bearing (or strut mount bearing) is a low-friction thrust bearing that sits within the front strut mount assembly. Its essential role is to enable the entire front strut (damper and spring) to pivot effortlessly as the driver turns the steering wheel. This smooth rotation is vital for the performance of the vehicle's electronic power steering (EPS) system and overall steering feel.
Failure of this bearing, which can occur due to water/dirt contamination or wear, typically results in:
Grinding, popping, or binding noises heard/felt from the front suspension when turning the steering wheel (especially at low speeds).
Stiffness or poor self-centering capability of the steering wheel.
Replacing a worn bearing with the Genuine Part ensures:
✔ Broad Compatibility: Guarantees correct fitment and optimal performance across all listed compatible Hyundai and Kia models.
✔ Smooth Steering: Enables the intended low-friction rotation for quiet, smooth, and reliable steering operation.
✔ Component Protection: Prevents accelerated wear on the strut mounts and improves overall ride comfort.
Compatible Vehicle:
Hyundai: Sonata DN8, Staria, Santa Fe (2021+), Tucson (2022+), Santa Cruz
Kia: Carnival KA4, K5, Sorento (2021+), Sportage (2023+)
