KYB SM5851 Suspension Strut Mount - Front

KYB SM5851 Front Strut Mount for Hyundai

KYB SM5851 is a front suspension strut mount built for OE-style replacement on select Hyundai applications. It addresses the vibration, noise, and harshness that can develop when original vibration insulators wear out, while helping restore steering feel and front-end alignment stability.

Compatible with 2012-2017 Hyundai Veloster, 2013-2016 Hyundai Elantra, and 2013-2014 Hyundai Elantra Coupe, this KYB Mount Components part is engineered for direct-fit service on the front suspension.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount for front suspension service
• Superior rubber helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Mount bearings support smoother steering response and alignment retention
• Matched-grade studs and nuts for application-specific fitment
• Designed to cushion road impacts and reduce jarring transfer into the cabin

Product Details

KYB Mount Components focuses on suspension replacement parts that restore original ride behavior. The SM5851 strut mount is designed to replace worn front mounts that can transmit clunks, vibration, and steering looseness into the vehicle. On vehicles such as the Hyundai Veloster, Hyundai Elantra, and Hyundai Elantra Coupe, the front bearing plate also serves as a steering pivot and supports vehicle weight, making mount condition important to both alignment and handling.

This part number, KYB SM5851, is intended for drivers addressing front-end noise or degraded suspension response on the listed Hyundai models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Address

• Front suspension noise over bumps
• Excess vibration felt through the chassis or steering wheel
• Harsh ride caused by worn vibration insulators
• Loose or imprecise steering feel from worn mount bearings
• Front-end alignment instability related to mount wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the strut mount during front strut service and verify that the replacement matches the vehicle’s year, model, and front position. Because the bearing plate affects steering pivot action and alignment, a professional alignment check is recommended after suspension work is completed. Confirm all mounting surfaces and adjacent suspension components are in serviceable condition before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-focused suspension replacement components, and the SM5851 follows that approach with application-specific design and materials selected for front suspension service. The Mount Components line is built to restore factory-like function in the areas that matter most for ride control, steering response, and noise reduction.
