Toyota MR2 Suspension Strut Rod
The Toyota MR2 Suspension Strut Rod is an important component that controls wheel movement and keeps the alignment accurate during braking and cornering. The Suspension Strut Rod connects the chassis to the steering knuckle just like a specialized control arm, allowing the wheel to travel up and down when hit by a bump. Its bushings dampen vibrations while keeping geometry constant. Early MR2 models were equipped with low-cost stamped steel Suspension Strut Rod units. Although these models were low-cost, they were susceptible to corrosion that thinned the metal around the bushings. This made service difficult and will call for full replacement when it becomes severe. The subsequent updates from Toyota included cast iron and cast aluminum variants, which were both more robust against impacts and notably lighter. As a result, the Suspension Strut Rod was able to withstand bending from curb strikes or towing incidents without experiencing any additional unsprung weight. No matter what it is made of, every MR2 Suspension Strut Rod uses replaceable rubber or ball type bushings at its ends, frame, and knuckle. When those joints get tired, they can be serviced on their own to keep the rod intact. The MR2 returns to the accustomed sharp handling Toyota performance cars are known for.
