If you want to replace your OEM top hats or have purchased suspension coilovers that did not come with top hats, you will not go wrong with our aftermarket top hats. You can confidently take your car to the track with these top hats because they are designed to handle the demands of competitive racing. We at Car Mods Australia are here to meet all your top hat Australia needs. We have some of the best top hats for sale Australia, all made by time-honored manufacturers based not only in Australia but also in other parts of the world.
Our aftermarket top hats are stouter and tougher than OEM top hats. They are made from hardened, high-grade metal alloys that can withstand the extreme torsional forces with which a race car chassis contends. Our adjustable top hats Australia also make it possible for you to adjust the coilover or suspension airbag position to add camber. Camber is the outward or inward tilt of a car’s wheels and tires as viewed from the front of the vehicle. Positive camber is when the top of a car’s wheel tilts away from the vehicle, and negative camber is when the bottom of the wheel tilts away from the car.
Camber adjustments may not make much of a difference to your car’s driving dynamics when you are driving on city streets or the highway, but they can be a great advantage on the track. The ideal negative camber settings for your car can shave vital seconds off your lap times because negative camber facilitates optimum road grip when cornering at high speeds. Therefore, if your performance objectives involve participating in racing competitions or spending a fair amount of time on the track, you cannot go wrong with our top hats for sale Australia.
When it comes to your vehicle’s suspension system, components like top hats, front strut mounts, and pillow ball upper mounts play a critical role in ensuring a smooth and controlled ride. These parts are essential for maintaining the alignment and stability of your vehicle, particularly during cornering, braking, and driving on uneven surfaces. Whether you're upgrading your suspension for performance or replacing worn-out parts, understanding the function and importance of these components is key to maintaining your vehicle's handling and comfort.
Top hats—also known as strut mounts or shock mounts—are an integral part of the suspension system. They sit at the top of the strut assembly and serve as the point of connection between the strut and the vehicle's chassis. Top hats play a crucial role in absorbing road impacts and vibrations, helping to ensure a smooth ride and reducing the stress on other suspension components.
Over time, top hats can wear out due to constant exposure to road conditions and the forces generated during driving. When this happens, you might notice a decrease in ride quality, increased road noise, or even a clunking sound when going over bumps. Replacing worn top hats is essential for restoring your vehicle's handling and comfort.
Front strut mounts are similar to top hats but are specifically designed for the front suspension. These mounts not only connect the strut to the chassis but also play a vital role in steering response and alignment. Front strut mounts often include a bearing that allows the strut to rotate when you turn the steering wheel, contributing to smoother and more responsive steering.
Worn or damaged front strut mounts can lead to several issues, including poor steering response, uneven tire wear, and even misalignment. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time to inspect and replace your front strut mounts to ensure your vehicle remains safe and comfortable to drive.
For performance-oriented drivers, pillow ball upper mounts—also known as pillow ball top mounts—offer a significant upgrade over traditional rubber or polyurethane mounts. These mounts feature a spherical bearing (pillow ball) that allows for greater precision and reduced play in the suspension system. This results in improved handling, especially during aggressive driving, where maintaining precise control is crucial.
Pillow ball upper mounts are commonly used in high-performance and racing applications where suspension precision is paramount. They provide a more direct connection between the suspension and the chassis, reducing deflection and allowing for more consistent handling characteristics. However, because they are made of metal, pillow ball upper mounts may transmit more noise and vibration into the cabin compared to traditional mounts, making them better suited for performance-focused vehicles rather than daily drivers.
Regular inspection and maintenance of your top hats, front strut mounts, and pillow ball upper mounts are crucial for ensuring the longevity and performance of your vehicle’s suspension system. Over time, these components can wear out due to the constant stress and impact they endure, leading to decreased ride quality and handling performance.
When replacing these components, it's important to choose high-quality parts that match or exceed the specifications of the original equipment. Upgrading to performance-oriented components like pillow ball upper mounts can provide a noticeable improvement in handling, especially if you frequently drive in a spirited manner or participate in track events.
Selecting the right top hats, front strut mounts, or pillow ball upper mounts depends on your vehicle's specific needs and your driving style. For everyday driving, traditional top hats and front strut mounts with rubber or polyurethane bushings are usually sufficient, offering a good balance of comfort and performance. However, if you’re looking to enhance your vehicle's handling characteristics, upgrading to pillow ball upper mounts might be the way to go.
At Car Mods Australia, we offer a wide range of suspension mounts, including top hats, front strut mounts, and pillow ball upper mounts, to meet the needs of every driver. Our products are sourced from reputable manufacturers, ensuring that you get high-quality components that deliver both performance and durability.
