Strut mount part name?

Post by babasoaps »

Hello all!

I am planning on doing my front struts soon and will probably do the sways as well since it's likely the hex screw will strip out and it's better to do it while doing this work anyway.

But my question is, what is the part on the inside under the hood that holds the strut in, the C-shaped mounting piece? Mine are really rusted and while I can just hit them with some rustoleum when I take them off, if they aren't expensive I may opt to just replace them. I have been thinking of everything they could be called and whenever I look up a suspension diagram, it omits this part.

Thanks in advance!

I see from another post you have an 06.

I attached a PDF showing the front suspension parts for an 03 Matrix, they call that part "Front Spring Support Reinforcement"
