Installation Notes and Tips

For the 2007-2011 Mitsubishi Outlander, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5091, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB108, to help protect the unit from dirt, debris, and salt. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 37310 for the same application.
