KYB SM5452 Suspension Shock Mounting Kit - Rear Upper

KYB SM5452 Strut Mount Components

KYB SM5452 is a suspension shock absorber mounting kit built for rear upper applications where worn mounts can add noise, vibration, and harshness. It is a direct OE-quality replacement for select Chevrolet Aveo, Aveo5, Pontiac G3, Pontiac Wave, and Suzuki Swift+ models.

KYB’s Mount Components line focuses on restoring suspension function with application-specific replacement parts. For vehicles with rear upper mount wear, this part helps return the suspension to a more controlled, quieter feel while supporting proper alignment-related performance.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount for the specified application
• Superior rubber helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Mount bearings support smoother steering response and front-end alignment retention where applicable
• Matched-grade studs and nuts for proper component fitment
• Designed to optimize suspension performance for the vehicle platform

Detailed Description

The KYB SM5452 is part of KYB’s Mount Components product line, which is focused on replacing worn vibration insulators and mount hardware with application-specific OE-style parts. On vehicles such as the Chevrolet Aveo and Aveo5, Pontiac G3 and Wave, and Suzuki Swift+, a deteriorated rear upper mount can transmit road impact and suspension movement into the cabin. Replacing the mount with KYB SM5452 helps restore the isolation and support the suspension was designed to provide.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 905981 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear suspension noise from hardened or worn mount material
• Excess vibration transferred into the vehicle body
• Harsh impact feel over bumps and rough pavement
• Reduced suspension isolation at the rear upper mount location
• Steering or alignment concerns related to worn mount support on applicable designs
