KYB SM5810 Suspension Shock Mounting Kit - Rear Upper

KYB SM5810 Strut Mount for BMW Rear Upper Applications

KYB SM5810 is a suspension shock absorber mounting kit built for rear upper applications on select BMW X5 and X6 models. It replaces worn vibration insulators and mount components that can transmit noise, harshness, and steering-related looseness into the cabin.

As part of KYB’s Mount Components line, this strut mount is engineered as an OE-quality replacement for the specific application, with attention to ride control, steering feel, and front-end alignment support where bearing plates are used.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount for the specified BMW rear upper position
• Superior rubber helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness from worn mounts
• Mount bearings support smoother steering response and alignment retention
• Matched-grade studs and nuts for application-specific serviceability
• Designed to restore suspension performance after hardened or deteriorated insulators wear out

Product Details

KYB Mount Components are built to address the common problems caused by aging suspension mounts, including vibration transfer, clunking, and reduced isolation between the road and the chassis. The SM5810 is intended for rear upper mounting locations on BMW X5 and BMW X6 applications listed below, and it follows KYB’s application-specific approach to replacement parts. If you are searching for a rear upper strut mount for a 2007-2008 BMW X5, 2009-2013 BMW X5, or 2008-2014 BMW X6, KYB SM5810 is the correct fitment to review.

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

What It Helps Fix

• Suspension noise from worn or hardened upper mounts
• Excess vibration transmitted into the vehicle body
• Harsh impact feel over bumps and rough pavement
• Loose or imprecise steering response caused by worn mount bearings
• Front-end alignment retention issues related to mount wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2007-2008 BMW X5, rear upper; 2009-2013 BMW X5, rear upper; and 2008-2014 BMW X6, rear upper. Verify whether the vehicle has electronic suspension before ordering: 2007-2008 BMW X5 is listed without electronic suspension notes, while 2009-2013 BMW X5 excludes electronic suspension. Confirm the rear upper mounting location and compare the original mount before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-style suspension replacement components, and the SM5810 is built to meet the application-specific requirements of the listed BMW models. The Mount Components line focuses on restoring proper isolation and steering support with parts designed for the vehicle’s original mounting geometry.
