KYB SM5542 Front Strut Mount Kit

Restore front suspension feel with the KYB SM5542 strut mount kit. This OE-quality replacement is built to reduce vibration, road noise, and harshness from worn mount insulators while helping maintain steering response on the vehicle.

Compatible with 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z, front and 2003-2007 INFINITI G35, front, this KYB Mount Components part is a direct-fit suspension service solution for common front-end wear concerns.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount for application-specific fitment
• Superior rubber helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Mount bearings support smoother steering input and front-end alignment retention
• Cushions impacts from road bumps to reduce jarring through the chassis
• Matched-grade studs and nuts for proper component matching

Product Details

KYB Mount Components are engineered to replace hardened or deteriorated vibration insulators that can transmit unwanted movement into the cabin. The SM5542 is designed for front suspension service on the Nissan 350Z and INFINITI G35, where the strut mount and bearing plate play a direct role in steering pivot action, wheel alignment, and load support. If you are replacing worn front strut mounts on a 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z or a 2003-2007 INFINITI G35, KYB SM5542 provides a focused OE-style repair path.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 905985) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Front suspension noise over bumps or rough pavement
• Excess vibration transferred into the cabin from worn mount insulators
• Steering feel that becomes less precise as mount bearings wear
• Front-end alignment concerns related to deteriorated bearing plates
• Harsh impact feedback from aged strut mount components

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the front struts, bearings, and surrounding suspension hardware before installation. Because the strut mount affects steering pivot and alignment, a professional alignment is recommended after service. Verify vehicle application by year, make, model, and front position before ordering the KYB SM5542.
