2019 Honda Accord strut-mounts: what’s fitted and how to look after them

Technical sources confirm the 2019 Honda Accord uses front MacPherson struts with dedicated strut mounts and a bearing at the top. Honda’s 2018–2020 Accord Service Manual (Front Suspension), Honda genuine parts catalogues for the 2019 Accord, and aftermarket fitment guides from major suspension brands all specify a front strut top mount and bearing. At the rear, the Accord runs a multi-link layout with a separate shock and coil spring, so there’s no rear strut or rear strut-mount fitted—only shock mounts.

Up front, the strut-mount (often paired with a separate or integrated bearing) secures the strut to the body, lets the strut pivot smoothly as the wheels steer, and isolates vibration so the cabin feels quiet and composed. The rubber insulator absorbs harshness, while the bearing prevents “spring wind-up” and heavy steering. In short, healthy mounts help the Accord track straight, steer lightly and keep tyre wear even.

As part of servicing a 2019 Accord, it’s smart to assess the front strut-mounts whenever front shocks/struts are replaced, or if steering and ride quality change. Typical inspection intervals align with front strut service life—often around 80,000–120,000 kilometres depending on roads and load—but condition matters more than a fixed number.

• Replace mounts and bearings whenever installing new front struts to avoid rework and noise later.
• Listen for clunks over bumps, creaks while turning the wheel, or a notchy “memory steer” feel—classic signs of a worn bearing or perished rubber.
• Watch for uneven front tyre wear and vague turn-in, which can point to a collapsing mount.

• Service tips: use a quality spring compressor, note the mount’s orientation marks, renew any single-use hardware, inspect the dust boot and bump stop, and book a wheel alignment after the job.
• If the vehicle has done big kilometres on rough roads, consider a complete front strut refresh (strut, mount, bearing, boot kit) for best results.
• Rear end note: the rear shock mounts are different parts—don’t order “rear strut-mounts” for this Accord, as there are no rear struts.

Looked after properly, fresh front strut-mounts keep the 2019 Accord riding quietly, steering cleanly and treating tyres gently—exactly how owners in Australia and New Zealand like it.

Popular questions about 2019 Honda Accord strut-mounts

Are there strut-mounts on both the front and rear?
The 2019 Accord has strut-mounts on the front only. The rear suspension is a multi-link design with separate shocks and springs, so it uses upper shock mounts rather than strut-mounts.

How often should the front strut-mounts be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval. Many owners replace mounts and bearings whenever front struts are renewed—commonly around 80,000–120,000 km—so everything works quietly and smoothly. Replace sooner if there are noises, steering notchiness, or alignment/tyre wear issues.

What are the symptoms of a failing strut-mount on this model?
Listen for clunks over bumps, creaks when turning the wheel, or heavy/“sticky” steering. You might notice wandering, vague turn-in, or cupped/uneven tyre wear. Visual checks may show cracked or separated rubber on the mount.
