Product Details

KYB Mount Components focuses on replacement suspension parts that match the needs of each vehicle application. The SM5656 strut mount is designed to replace hardened or worn mount assemblies that can transmit road vibration into the body and reduce suspension refinement. On vehicles such as the Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio, a worn rear upper mount can contribute to clunks, excess vibration, and a less controlled ride.
