KYB SM5262 Suspension Shock / Strut Mount Bushing - Front Upper

KYB SM5262 Strut Mount Bushing Overview

KYB SM5262 is a suspension shock absorber / strut mount bushing built for front upper applications on select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles. It addresses worn vibration insulators that can transmit noise and harshness into the cabin while helping restore proper suspension feel.

Compatible With 1995-2000 Chrysler Cirrus, front upper; 1996-2000 Chrysler Sebring, front upper; 1996-1999 Plymouth Breeze, front upper; and 1995-1998 Dodge Stratus, front upper.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount design for application-specific fitment
• Superior rubber construction helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Mount bearings support smoother steering response and front-end alignment retention
• Matched-grade studs and nuts for proper component matching
• Front bearing plate design supports steering pivot function and vehicle weight

Detailed Product Description

KYB Mount Components are engineered to replace aged strut mount bushings and vibration insulators that harden over time. On vehicles such as the Chrysler Cirrus, Chrysler Sebring, Plymouth Breeze, and Dodge Stratus, a worn upper strut mount can contribute to clunks, steering looseness, and excess road noise. The SM5262 is designed to restore the mount’s isolating and steering-support functions while maintaining the suspension geometry expected from an OE-style replacement.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 901940 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Front suspension noise over bumps or rough pavement
• Excess vibration transferred into the cabin
• Steering bind or reduced steering smoothness
• Front-end alignment instability caused by worn mount bearings
• Clunking from deteriorated upper strut mount bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the SM5262 on the front upper strut mount location only where listed in the fitment data. Inspect the strut assembly, bearing plate, and surrounding suspension hardware for wear before reassembly. Because strut mount service affects steering and alignment, a professional alignment check after installation is recommended.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-style suspension components, and the Mount Components line focuses on restoring factory-like ride control, steering feel, and noise isolation for the listed applications. Part number SM5262 is built to meet the needs of the specified Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth fitments.
