KYB SM5700 Suspension Shock / Strut Mount Bushing - Front Upper

KYB SM5700 Strut Mount Bushing Overview

KYB SM5700 is a front upper suspension shock absorber / strut mount bushing built for select Nissan and INFINITI applications. It replaces worn vibration insulators that can transmit noise, harshness, and steering vibration into the cabin.

As part of KYB Mount Components, the SM5700 focuses on restoring OE-style suspension function for vehicles such as the Nissan Armada, Nissan TITAN, and INFINITI QX80.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount for the front upper suspension position
• Superior rubber construction reduces noise, vibration, and harshness
• Mount bearings support smoother steering response and help retain front-end alignment
• Matched-grade studs and nuts for application-specific fitment
• Designed to cushion road impacts and reduce jarring from worn mounts

Product Details

KYB Mount Components are engineered as direct replacement suspension parts for each application, and the SM5700 follows that approach for front upper mount service. When the original mount bushing hardens or wears out, the result is often clunking, vibration, and less precise steering feel. This KYB strut mount helps restore the isolation and support needed at the top of the strut assembly.

Compatible With 2005-2015 Nissan Armada, front upper; 2017-2022 Nissan Armada, front upper; 2004-2015 Nissan TITAN, front upper; 2014-2019 INFINITI QX80, front upper (except Adaptive Control Suspension); 2004-2010 INFINITI QX56, front upper; 2011-2013 INFINITI QX56, front upper (w/o Touring Suspension); and 2004 Nissan Pathfinder Armada, front upper (exc. Auto Rear Leveling). This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front suspension noise from worn upper strut mounts
• Steering vibration caused by hardened vibration insulators
• Harsh ride feel over bumps and rough pavement
• Loose or imprecise steering response at the front end
• Alignment instability related to worn mount bearings

Installation Notes

Install the SM5700 at the front upper strut mount location only. Verify suspension configuration before ordering, especially on INFINITI QX80 models with Adaptive Control Suspension and INFINITI QX56 models with Touring Suspension, since those notes affect fitment. A proper strut service procedure should be followed so the mount, bearing plate, and surrounding suspension components are inspected together.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-style suspension replacement parts, and the SM5700 is built to match the application-specific requirements of the vehicle. The mount bearing design supports steering function while the rubber isolator helps reduce vibration transfer, making it a practical replacement for worn front upper mount components.
