KYB SM5444 Suspension Strut Mount Kit - Rear

KYB SM5444 Rear Strut Mount Kit

KYB SM5444 is a rear suspension strut mount kit built for Mini applications that need a direct replacement for worn vibration insulators and mount components. It helps restore quieter operation and more consistent suspension response on the Mini Cooper, Cooper Countryman, and Cooper Paceman.

KYB Mount Components focus on OE-quality replacement fit and function for each application. The SM5444 uses matched-grade studs and nuts, superior rubber, and mount bearings to support steering feel, reduce noise, and help maintain front-end alignment where applicable.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount kit for specific Mini rear applications
• Superior rubber helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Mount bearings promote smoother steering response and alignment retention
• Matched-grade studs and nuts for application-specific fitment
• Designed to replace hardened vibration insulators that transmit road harshness

Product Details

The KYB Mount Components line is built around suspension service parts that match original equipment requirements by application. Part number SM5444 is engineered for rear mount service on Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper Countryman, and Mini Cooper Paceman models, helping address the vibration and noise that develop as original mounts age and harden. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 906984 for the same application.

Fits 2003-2012 Mini Cooper, rear. Fits 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, rear. Fits 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman, rear. Fits 2002 Mini Cooper, rear, from 3/02.

What It Helps Solve

• Excess cabin noise from worn rear strut mounts
• Harshness and vibration transferred from the road into the vehicle
• Reduced steering smoothness caused by worn mount bearings
• Front-end alignment concerns related to degraded suspension support components
• Clunking or rattling associated with aged vibration insulators

Installation Notes

Inspect the surrounding suspension hardware, strut assembly, and bearing surfaces before installation. Replace worn mount components as part of a complete rear suspension service on the Mini Cooper, Cooper Countryman, or Cooper Paceman to help restore consistent ride quality and steering response. Verify vehicle year and rear-position fitment before ordering.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-style suspension replacement parts, and the SM5444 is built to the same application-specific standards used across the Mount Components line. The design emphasizes proper fit, noise control, and suspension performance for the listed Mini rear applications.
