KYB SM5899 Suspension Strut Mount Kit - Front

KYB Front Strut Mount Kit for Transit

KYB SM5899 is a front suspension strut mount kit for select Ford Transit vans and E-Transit models. It replaces worn mount and bearing components that can transmit vibration, noise, and steering looseness into the cabin.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount and bearing components
• Helps isolate road shock and reduce harshness from worn vibration insulators
• Front bearing plate supports steering pivot action and wheel alignment
• Built for front suspension service on Ford Transit-150, Transit-250, Transit-350, Transit-350 HD, and E-Transit
• KYB Mount Components line focuses on suspension restoration for application-specific fitment

Detailed Description

KYB SM5899 is engineered for front suspension service on 2022-2024 Ford E-Transit, 2021-2023 Ford Transit-150, and 2018-2023 Ford Transit-250, Transit-350, and Transit-350 HD. It also fits 2018-2020 Ford Transit-150 front applications with mount and bearing notes. This part cross-references Ford BK2Z18198A and FK2118183AA for the same application.

As part of KYB Mount Components, this strut mount kit is built to restore the function of the upper strut attachment point and bearing plate. On Ford Transit and E-Transit front suspension systems, the mount and bearing help control vibration transfer while supporting steering response and alignment stability.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from a worn front strut mount
• Excess cabin vibration from hardened mount insulators
• Steering bind or rough pivot action at the front strut bearing
• Uneven or unstable steering feel after mount wear
• Front-end noise during bumps and road impacts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front fitment by year, model, and suspension configuration before ordering. Inspect the strut assembly, bearing plate, and surrounding suspension components for wear during replacement. After installation, confirm steering operation and wheel alignment.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs its Mount Components as OE-style replacement parts for specific applications, with a focus on restoring suspension function, steering pivot support, and noise control on Ford Transit front suspension systems.
