Front Strut Mount Bearing for BYD Sealion 06, OE 12438272-00

Work from the fitment table on this page rather than from the model name in the title, because this bearing fits a wide spread of BYD vehicles and the name alone will not settle it. Match the model, the build period and the variant to your own documents, line by line. Then confirm the number on the old assembly against 12438272-00 or the alternative reference HADF-2905600. If the table shows your model but the numbers do not agree, send a photograph of the old part and its label through the quote route and let us check it against the OE number before you order anything.

Two references belong to this listing: OE number 12438272-00 and HADF-2905600. Either one on the part you removed points here. Bearings are often marked on the housing face that sits hidden when fitted, so turn it over before deciding there is no number at all. Copy the string exactly, since the digits run close together on this family of suspension parts. If neither of ours appears, or the housing is corroded past reading, the quote route is the answer. Send what you can see, along with a photograph of the old part, and we will match it for you.

We would say so. This bearing is safety critical, and it sits underbody at the front of the car in the upper part of the strut assembly, where a road spring is involved in getting at it. That is equipment and experience territory rather than a driveway task. No torque values and no fitting sequence are published by us, so nothing here stands in for the vehicle maker's own data. Book the work with a garage, hand them OE number 12438272-00, and let them confirm what else they want to renew while the strut is apart.

Delivery takes 8 to 25 days from your order to your door. Since a strut usually comes apart only once in a job, decide early whether you are renewing both front corners, and get the order in before the car goes anywhere near a ramp. If you need a progress check, quote OE number 12438272-00 and we will look at the exact line rather than guessing from the model.

Metal is what this bearing is made from, on a new part. Beyond the material we publish no detail on the internal construction or any lubrication, so a workshop wanting that should go to the vehicle maker's information rather than reading anything into this page.

At the front, underbody, in the upper part of the strut assembly. There is no left or right for it, so one part serves either front corner and there is no handed opposite to look for. Most people renewing a strut bearing do both sides in the same visit, so order accordingly rather than coming back a fortnight later for the second one. Before you order a pair, run your model through the fitment table on this page, because this bearing appears against a broad range of vehicles and the table is where that gets settled.

None has been matched to OE number 12438272-00, so the page shows the Original/Genuine bearing from BYD on its own. A single tier means a single specification and the price shown on this page. It is not a comment on what else exists in the trade, only a statement of what we have sourced and confirmed for this number. If you want an alternative looked for, ask through the quote route and give the OE number from the old part. Should one be matched later, this page would carry both tiers side by side.
