KYB SM5652 Suspension Shock Absorber Mount - Rear Left Upper

KYB SM5652 Rear Left Upper Strut Mount

KYB SM5652 is a suspension shock absorber mount built for rear left upper applications on select Chevrolet, Buick, and Saab vehicles. It replaces worn vibration insulators and bearing components that can add noise, harshness, and steering looseness to the suspension.

As part of KYB Mount Components, this strut mount is engineered as an OE-quality replacement for the specific application. It is a direct service part for drivers looking to restore suspension feel on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Impala, Buick Regal, and Buick LaCrosse.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount for the rear left upper position
• 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 application-specific service
• Built to replace hardened vibration insulators that transmit road impact into the cabin

Product Details

KYB Mount Components focus on restoring suspension performance by replacing worn upper mount hardware with parts designed for each vehicle application. The SM5652 helps cushion road impacts, reduce jarring over bumps, and support the steering pivot function where bearing plates are used. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 907988, 908924) for the same application.

Compatible With 2014-2020 Chevrolet Impala, rear left upper; 2014-2017 Buick Regal, rear left upper, w/o Active Suspension; 2010-2016 Buick LaCrosse, rear left upper; 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited, rear left upper; 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, rear left upper; 2011-2013 Buick Regal, rear left upper; and 2010-2011 Saab 9-5, rear left upper.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from a worn upper strut mount
• Excess cabin vibration from hardened rubber insulators
• Loose or imprecise steering feel caused by worn mount bearings
• Front-end alignment issues related to degraded bearing plates
• Harsh ride quality over bumps and rough pavement

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the SM5652 in the rear left upper position only on the listed applications. Verify suspension configuration before ordering, especially for the 2014-2017 Buick Regal, which is listed without Active Suspension. Inspect the strut assembly, bearing surfaces, and surrounding hardware for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs Mount Components as OE-quality replacement parts for application-specific fit and function. The brand’s strut mounts and bearing plates are known for consistent suspension service and steering support in the aftermarket.
