KYB Rear Upper Strut Mount for Audi and VW

KYB SM5659 is a rear upper suspension shock absorber mount built for select Audi A4, A4 Quattro, A6, A6 Quattro, S4, S6, RS4, and Volkswagen Passat applications. It replaces worn vibration insulators and bearing components that can add noise, harshness, and steering looseness to the chassis.

Key Features

  • OE-quality replacement strut mount designed for each listed application
  • Superior rubber helps reduce road noise, vibration, and harshness
  • Mount bearings support smoother steering response and front-end alignment retention
  • Matched-grade studs and nuts for proper component fitment
  • Rear upper mount design for the listed Audi and Volkswagen applications

Product Details

KYB Mount Components are engineered to restore suspension function where old mounts have hardened or deteriorated. On vehicles such as the 2002-2009 Audi A4 rear upper mount application or the 1998-2004 Audi A6 rear upper mount application, a worn mount can transmit impact and vibration into the cabin and reduce suspension control. KYB SM5659 addresses that wear with an OE-style replacement built for the specific mounting location and vehicle platform. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 904965) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Clunking or knocking from the rear upper suspension area
  • Excess vibration and harshness entering the cabin
  • Reduced steering smoothness from worn bearing surfaces
  • Alignment instability caused by deteriorated mount components
  • Noise from hardened or cracked vibration insulators

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear upper placement and confirm the vehicle is not equipped with air suspension where excluded. This part is listed for 2006-2011 Audi A6 rear upper, 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro rear upper, 2007-2011 Audi S6 rear upper, 2002-2009 Audi A4 rear upper, 2002-2009 Audi A4 Quattro rear upper, 2004-2009 Audi S4 rear upper, 2007-2008 Audi RS4 rear upper, 1998-2004 Audi A6 rear upper, and 1998-2001 Volkswagen Passat rear upper to VIN #3B1300000. Confirm the original mount style and suspension configuration before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB’s Mount Components line focuses on OE-quality replacement parts for suspension service. SM5659 is built to match the application-specific requirements of the listed vehicles, helping restore proper mount function and suspension feel.
