KYB SM5702 Suspension Coil Spring Seat - Front Upper

KYB SM5702 Spring Seat for Civic and EL

KYB SM5702 is a suspension coil spring seat and insulator replacement for select 2002-2005 Acura EL and 2002-2005 Honda Civic front upper applications. It is built to restore proper spring support while reducing the vibration, squeaks, rattles, and noise that can develop as original insulators harden with age.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement spring seat for front upper suspension use
• Helps reduce squeaks, rattles, and vibration noise from worn insulators
• Built to match or exceed original equipment design and quality
• Part number SM5702 for easy catalog matching
• Brand line: KYB Mount Components focuses on suspension mounting parts that support proper ride performance

Product Details

KYB SM5702 is engineered as a direct replacement spring seat for the front upper suspension strut mount bracket on select Acura EL and Honda Civic models. As part of KYB’s Mount Components line, this spring seat is intended to restore the interface between the coil spring and the suspension mount, helping maintain consistent suspension operation and reducing unwanted movement at the mount point. If you are servicing a 2002-2005 Honda Civic or 2002-2005 Acura EL, SM5702 provides a fitment-specific replacement solution that aligns with OE-style requirements.

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

What It Helps Address

• Squeaking from hardened or worn spring insulators
• Rattling or clunking at the front upper strut mount area
• Vibration noise transmitted through the suspension
• Loss of proper spring seating due to aged rubber components
• Uneven suspension feel caused by deteriorated mount components

Installation Notes

Install SM5702 on the front upper suspension strut mount bracket for the listed Acura EL and Honda Civic applications. Inspect the surrounding mount components, spring perch, and strut hardware condition before reassembly, and replace any worn suspension parts that could affect fit or noise control. Verify year, make, model, and position against the vehicle before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB spring seats and insulators are built as OE-quality replacement components and are known for consistent suspension fit and function across their intended applications. SM5702 reflects KYB’s focus on restoring proper suspension performance and reducing noise at the mount interface.
