Product Details

As part of KYB Mount Components, the SM5125 is engineered for applications where the front bearing plate serves as a steering pivot and carries vehicle weight. That role makes the bearing critical to steering feel and wheel alignment.

This part cross-references Gabriel 142560 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Steering bind or rough steering feel from a worn strut mount bearing
• Front-end alignment drift after suspension wear
• Noise or resistance during steering input at the front suspension
• Uneven suspension movement caused by degraded mount bearing surfaces
• Loss of original steering precision in Lexus ES300 and Toyota Camry front suspension service

Installation Notes

Install SM5125 during front strut service when the mount bearing shows wear, noise, or binding. Verify the vehicle is a 1992-1994 Lexus ES300 or 1992-1994 Toyota Camry with front lower spring seat bearing mount components before installation. After replacement, perform a wheel alignment to confirm steering geometry is set correctly.
