KYB SM5853 Suspension Shock Mounting Kit - Rear Upper

KYB SM5853 Rear Upper Strut Mount

KYB SM5853 is a suspension shock absorber mounting kit built for rear upper strut applications on select Nissan models. It replaces worn vibration insulators and bearing components that can add noise, harshness, and steering looseness.

Compatible with 2011-2023 Nissan LEAF, rear upper, and 2011-2017 Nissan Juke, rear upper, this KYB Mount Components part is focused on restoring OE-style suspension feel and alignment stability.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount for the specified application
• Superior rubber 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 fitment
• Built to cushion road impacts and reduce jarring transmitted into the cabin

Product Details

KYB Mount Components are engineered to replace hardened or worn vibration insulators that can transfer road shock into the vehicle. On rear upper strut locations, the mount helps isolate suspension movement, reduce unwanted noise, and maintain consistent ride quality. KYB SM5853 is a direct-fit suspension mount solution for Nissan LEAF and Nissan Juke rear upper applications, with construction aimed at preserving the original suspension behavior of the vehicle.

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

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from worn rear upper strut mounts
• Excess vibration transferred through the suspension
• Harsh ride feel caused by hardened mount insulators
• Steering or alignment inconsistency related to worn bearing plates
• Noise from degraded suspension mounting points

Installation Notes

Install SM5853 on the rear upper strut mounting location only for the listed Nissan applications. Inspect the strut assembly, bearing surfaces, and surrounding suspension hardware before installation, and replace any worn components that could affect mount performance. Proper torque and alignment procedures should be followed after service.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-style suspension replacement components, and the Mount Components line is built around application-specific fit and ride control. SM5853 is designed to meet the needs of the listed Nissan LEAF and Nissan Juke rear upper mount applications while supporting consistent suspension performance.
