Parts for your 2019 Honda Odyssey-Strut mounts

2019 Honda Odyssey Strut Mounts

Based on Honda’s factory service information for the 2018–2020 Odyssey (front suspension section, MacPherson strut layout), the model uses a strut-and-coil assembly at the front with a dedicated strut top mount and bearing. Honda’s OEM parts catalogues also list a front “shock absorber/strut mount” for the 2019 Odyssey, and major aftermarket application guides (e.g., KYB and Monroe) supply front strut mounts specifically for this vehicle. The rear is a multi-link setup with separate dampers, so no rear strut mounts are used.

For the 2019 Honda Odyssey, the front strut mounts do a couple of big jobs. First, they secure the top of the front struts to the body, taking vehicle weight and road loads. Second, the built-in bearing lets the strut turn smoothly as the wheels steer, while the rubber isolator helps keep bumps and vibration out of the cabin. Because the Odyssey often carries the family, gear and the odd weekend load, those mounts work hard over Aussie and Kiwi roads.

There’s no fixed replacement interval, but they’re a wear item. Many owners see them last well past 80,000–150,000 km, depending on conditions. It’s smart to have them checked at regular services, especially if there’s clunking over bumps, a groan when turning the wheel at low speed, vague steering feel, or uneven front tyre wear. Visible cracking in the rubber or excessive play at the top of the strut are red flags.

When it’s time to replace, most workshops recommend doing struts and mounts together in axle pairs. That way, the fresh mount bearing won’t be paired with a tired strut, and you’ll restore quiet, precise steering. The job needs a proper spring compressor and correct torqueing of the top hardware, so DIY isn’t for everyone. After any front strut or mount work, a wheel alignment is a must to keep the Odyssey tracking straight and protect the tyres.

During service, a quick look around the strut tops can save headaches. Ask the technician to inspect:

• Strut mount rubber and bearing smoothness
• Coil spring seats, dust boots and bump stops
• Sway bar links and top mount fasteners

Quality counts here—genuine Honda or reputable aftermarket mounts help prevent noise and early wear. Get the little things right and the Odyssey stays quiet, comfy and confidence-inspiring on school runs and long holiday drives alike.

FAQs

Do both ends of a 2019 Odyssey have strut mounts?
The front does—because it uses a MacPherson strut with a top mount and bearing. The rear uses a multi-link suspension with separate shock absorbers, so there are no rear strut mounts to replace.

How long do front strut mounts typically last on a 2019 Odyssey?
There’s no fixed mileage, but many last 80,000–150,000 km or more. Harsh roads, heavy loads and heat can shorten lifespan. If you notice clunks, groans on steering, or odd tyre wear, have them checked sooner.

Is it safe to keep driving with a noisy strut mount?
It might be drivable short-term, but it’s not ideal. A worn mount can affect steering feel, add braking dive noises and accelerate tyre wear. Plan an inspection promptly and avoid long trips until it’s assessed.
