Shock mounts and camber plates are essential components in a vehicle's suspension system, connecting shocks or struts to the chassis while helping manage alignment and handling characteristics. A shock mount absorbs road impact and reduces vibration transfer to the vehicle body, while strut mounts serve a similar purpose in MacPherson strut setups, often incorporating a bearing to allow smooth steering movement.
Rear shock mounts are especially critical in supporting suspension loads and maintaining consistent damping performance over time. Camber plates are used to adjust wheel alignment angles, particularly camber, which affects tire contact and cornering grip. They are commonly found in performance and track-oriented vehicles where precise suspension tuning is necessary. Proper installation and maintenance of shock mounts, strut mounts, and camber plates ensure improved ride quality, alignment accuracy, and suspension longevity.
