Shock Mounts & Camber Plates

Shock mounts secure the top and bottom of a shock or strut to the vehicle's chassis, providing the connection point that transfers suspension movement into controlled, cushioned motion rather than direct impact on the frame. Over time, factory shock mounts can wear, crack, or develop play in their bushings, leading to noise, vibration, and reduced damping performance. Adjustable camber plates serve a related but distinct purpose: they replace the upper strut mount with a design that lets the strut angle be fine-tuned, correcting or intentionally adjusting camber for improved tire contact and handling. Both components are commonly addressed together during suspension rebuilds, coilover installations, or alignment corrections, since they sit at the same connection point in the suspension assembly, a relationship explained further in our guide to coilovers.

Why Choose Our Shock Mounts & Camber Plates

● Fresh shock mounts eliminate clunking noises and restore proper damping transfer.

● Adjustable camber plates allow precise alignment corrections beyond factory tolerances.

● Useful for correcting camber issues introduced by lowering, lifting, or worn suspension components.

● Supports more even tire wear when camber is properly dialed in.

● Compatible with a range of strut and shock configurations across vehicle platforms.

● Often paired with coilover installations for a complete, tunable setup.

Features of Shock Mounts & Camber Plates

● Constructed from durable rubber, polyurethane, or metal bearings depending on the application.

● Camber plates typically offer a defined adjustment range measured in degrees.

● Designed to fit specific strut top diameters and bolt patterns.

● Some designs include pillow ball bearings for reduced deflection under load.

● Corrosion-resistant coatings help extend service life across climates.

● Compatible with both OEM-style replacement and performance-oriented builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shock mounts secure the upper and lower ends of a shock or strut to the vehicle, allowing controlled suspension movement while isolating vibration and impact from the chassis.

Shock mounts should be inspected and replaced when they show cracking, damaged bushings, excessive vibration, or clunking noises that may indicate deterioration or excessive movement.

Adjustable camber plates replace or integrate with the factory upper strut mount to provide additional camber adjustment, helping fine-tune wheel alignment and handling characteristics.

Not every vehicle requires camber plates, but lowering can change suspension geometry and increase negative camber. Adjustable plates can provide additional alignment range when factory adjustment is insufficient.
