KYB SM5617 Shock Mount - Rear Upper

KYB SM5617 Rear Upper Strut Mount

KYB SM5617 is a rear upper suspension shock absorber mount built for OE-style replacement on select Hyundai and Kia vehicles. It addresses the vibration, noise, and harshness that worn vibration insulators can transmit into the cabin while helping restore suspension feel.

Compatible With 2006-2012 Hyundai and Kia rear upper applications, including Hyundai Azera, Sonata, and Kia Rondo, Optima, Magentis, and Amanti.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount for application-specific fitment
• Superior rubber helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Mount bearings support smoother steering response and front-end alignment retention
• Matched-grade studs and nuts for proper component fit
• Engineered to cushion road impacts and reduce jarring transfer into the vehicle

Product Details

KYB Mount Components SM5617 is part of KYB’s suspension mount line, focused on restoring the function of worn upper mounts and bearing plates. On rear upper applications, the mount helps isolate road shock and reduce the noise that develops when original vibration insulators harden over time. For drivers searching for a rear upper strut mount for a 2006-2011 Hyundai Sonata, 2007-2010 Kia Optima, or 2007-2009 Kia Amanti, this part number provides a direct replacement solution built around the original application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or knocking from worn rear upper mount components
• Excess vibration felt through the body or cabin
• Harsh ride quality caused by hardened rubber insulators
• Steering or alignment concerns related to worn mount bearings
• Noise from deteriorated suspension mounting points

Installation Notes

Install SM5617 on the rear upper suspension position only for the listed Hyundai and Kia applications. Verify the vehicle year, model, and rear upper configuration before installation, and inspect surrounding suspension parts for wear while the strut assembly is apart. Proper torque and alignment procedures should be followed after service.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs Mount Components as OE-quality replacement parts for specific applications, with materials and bearing support intended to restore original suspension function. Part number SM5617 reflects KYB’s focus on fit, steering stability, and noise control in the rear upper mount position.
