Parts for your 2019 Honda Cr-v-Strut mounts

2019 Honda CR‑V strut mounts

Yes, the 2019 Honda CR‑V uses strut mounts in the front suspension. Technical sources that confirm this include Honda’s Service Information/Service Manual for the 2017–2019 CR‑V (Front Suspension section), which specifies a MacPherson strut front end with a rubber‑isolated upper mount and bearing, and mainstream parts catalogues from KYB and Monroe that list dedicated front strut‑mount kits for this model. The rear of the 2019 CR‑V is a multi‑link setup with separate shocks, so rear “strut mounts” aren’t applicable there.

On the front of a 2019 CR‑V, the strut mounts do more than just hold things together. They secure the top of the MacPherson strut to the body, isolate vibrations and road noise through a rubber insulator, and, because there’s an integral bearing in the mount, let the strut pivot smoothly when the steering is turned. That combo keeps the ride quiet, the steering light and precise, and the tyres wearing evenly.

Over time, the rubber can harden or crack and the bearing can wear, leading to clunks over bumps, a creak or groan when turning the wheel, vague steering, or feathered tyre wear. If any of that shows up, it’s worth having a technician check the mounts along with the struts. As a rule of thumb in Australia and New Zealand conditions, expect inspection around 60,000–80,000 km and serious consideration for replacement somewhere between 80,000–150,000 km, depending on road quality and load use.

Best practice when servicing a 2019 CR‑V’s front end is:

• Inspect strut mounts whenever the front struts are out, or if there’s noise over bumps or while steering at low speed.
• Replace in axle pairs when wear is evident, or proactively when fitting new struts, to avoid rework.
• Use quality mounts with the correct integrated bearing, cheap copies can add steering notchiness and noise.
• Renew any single‑use/self‑locking nuts and follow Honda torque specs during reassembly.
• Book a wheel alignment after refitting, as mount position affects camber and caster.

A tidy strut‑mount setup keeps the CR‑V feeling tight, quiet and confidence‑inspiring. If the front end has started to knock, the steering feels a bit sticky on centre, or there’s uneven tyre wear, sorting the mounts at the same time as the struts is a smart, cost‑effective move.

Does a 2019 Honda CR‑V have strut mounts?

Yes—up front. Honda’s service manual details a MacPherson strut with an upper rubber‑isolated mount and bearing. Rear suspension is multi‑link with separate shocks, so there are no rear strut mounts.

How long do the front strut mounts last on a 2019 CR‑V?

Commonly 80,000–150,000 km, but it varies with road conditions and load. Inspect them at each major service and whenever the struts are replaced.

Do strut mounts need an alignment afterwards?

Yes. Any time the front struts or mounts are disturbed, a wheel alignment is recommended to keep steering feel sharp and tyre wear even.
