febi has the solution for common problems
In the Skoda Octavia, a common problem occurs with noise and squeaking from the front axle, even with OE parts. These problems are caused by poor manufacturing and the use of inferior materials for the strut top mounting. This is often due to the rubber metal compound dissolving due to insufficient vulcanization, which leads to a high failure rate.
febi bilstein has found the solution, supplying a strut top mounting with material and manufacturing that exceeds the car manufacturer’s requirements. febi’s strut top mounting (Part no. 22500) is characterised by high-grade material and professional manufacturing, with strict quality controls. This ensures our mountings are very durable, with a long service life.
febi also recommends that the strut top mounting bearing (Part no. 22498) should be replaced. We offer a repair kit (Part no. 22502) which contains all the necessary components for a full replacement, including the strut top mounting (22500) and ball bearing (22498).
