KYB SM5768 Suspension Strut Mount Bracket - Rear Upper

KYB SM5768 Strut Mount Bracket Overview

KYB SM5768 is a suspension strut mount bracket built for rear upper applications on select Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge vehicles. It replaces worn vibration insulators and mount components that can transmit road noise, harshness, and steering feel changes into the cabin.

As part of KYB Mount Components, this strut mount bracket is engineered as an OE-quality replacement for application-specific suspension service. It is a direct service part for vehicles such as the Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, Chrysler 200, Dodge Avenger, Dodge Caliber, Chrysler Sebring, and Dodge Journey.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount bracket for rear upper suspension service
• Superior rubber construction helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Mount bearings support smoother steering response and front-end alignment retention
• Matched-grade studs and nuts for application-specific service
• Built to replace hardened vibration insulators that can degrade ride quality

Product Line Details

KYB Mount Components focus on restoring suspension function with replacement parts matched to the vehicle application. The SM5768 follows that approach by addressing the mount point where vibration isolation and steering support are critical, especially on front suspension strut mount bracket service.

Detailed Description

KYB SM5768 is designed for drivers and repair shops looking for a rear upper suspension strut mount bracket that restores factory-style isolation and support. On vehicles like the 2007-2015 Jeep Compass, 2007-2015 Jeep Patriot, 2011-2014 Chrysler 200, 2008-2014 Dodge Avenger, 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber, 2007-2010 Chrysler Sebring, and 2009-2010 Dodge Journey, worn mount components can create clunks, vibration transfer, and inconsistent steering feel. This KYB mount bracket addresses those issues with an OE-quality replacement design and bearing support where applicable.

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

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or knocking from worn suspension mount components
• Excess cabin vibration from hardened vibration insulators
• Harsh ride feel over bumps and rough pavement
• Steering looseness or reduced steering smoothness at the front end
• Front-end alignment drift related to worn mount and bearing support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and rear upper position before installation. This part is listed for 2007-2015 Jeep Compass, 2007-2015 Jeep Patriot, 2011-2014 Chrysler 200, 2008-2014 Dodge Avenger, 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber, 2007-2010 Chrysler Sebring, and 2009-2010 Dodge Journey. Inspect the surrounding strut assembly, bearing surfaces, and fasteners during service so the new mount bracket is installed onto a clean, properly prepared suspension assembly.
