KYB SM5378 Strut Mount Kit Overview

The KYB SM5378 suspension strut mount kit is an OE-quality replacement for front suspension service on select Volkswagen models. It addresses vibration, noise, and harshness from worn mount insulators while helping restore steering feel and front-end alignment stability.

Compatible with front applications on the Volkswagen Cabrio, Jetta, Golf, Passat, and Corrado, this KYB Mount Components part is built for drivers replacing worn strut mounts on a Volkswagen front suspension.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount designed for the specific application

• Mount bearings support smoother steering response and alignment retention
• Front bearing plate design supports vehicle weight and steering pivot function
• Matched-grade studs and nuts for proper component fitment

Product Details

KYB Mount Components focuses on replacement suspension hardware that matches the needs of the original application. The SM5378 is engineered to replace hardened or worn front strut mounts that can transmit road shock into the cabin and affect steering precision. On Volkswagen Cabrio, Jetta, Golf, Passat, and Corrado front suspension systems, the mount and bearing assembly plays a direct role in ride isolation, steering pivot action, and wheel alignment control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 902906 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front suspension noise from worn or hardened mount insulators
• Steering bind or rough steering feel at the top of the strut assembly
• Excess vibration transferred into the cabin through the front suspension
• Alignment instability caused by worn bearing plate components
• Harsh impact feel over bumps and road imperfections

Inspect the strut assembly, spring seats, and related wear items before installation.

Verify vehicle year and front suspension configuration against the listed fitment before ordering.
