Product Details

KYB spring seats and insulators are engineered to replace deteriorated vibration-isolating components that can affect ride quality and suspension noise. The SM5545 is designed for front upper use and supports proper spring seating in the strut assembly, helping maintain consistent suspension performance on the vehicle. If you are servicing a worn front suspension strut mount bracket area, KYB SM5545 provides an OE-style replacement solution for Audi applications.

What It Helps Fix

• Suspension squeaks from hardened or cracked spring insulators
• Rattles and clunks from worn front upper spring seat components
• Excess vibration transmitted through the strut assembly
• Loss of proper spring support at the front upper mount area
• Noise concerns during front suspension service on Audi models

Installation Notes

Install the spring seat during front suspension service when the strut assembly is disassembled. Inspect the surrounding mount components, insulators, and related hardware for wear before reassembly. Confirm the vehicle’s year, model, and front upper application before ordering. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
