Product Details

The KYB Mount Components line focuses on suspension parts that restore original equipment function and ride control. SM5687 is designed to replace worn rear upper mount components that can transmit vibration through the chassis and reduce suspension refinement. On vehicles such as the Acura RSX and Honda Civic, a worn rear upper mount can contribute to clunks, harshness, and inconsistent suspension response. KYB SM5687 helps return the mount interface to proper operating condition with a design matched to the application.

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

Common Problems It Can Help Address

• Rear suspension noise from hardened or deteriorated mount insulators
• Excess vibration transferred into the vehicle body
• Harsh ride feel over bumps and rough pavement
• Reduced steering smoothness caused by worn mount bearing components
• Front-end alignment instability related to mount wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and rear upper position before installation. Confirm that the existing mount components match the listed application notes, including the insulator and boot requirement shown in the fitment data. Inspect surrounding suspension parts for wear before reassembly so the new mount bracket is installed into a serviceable system.
