KYB SM5916 Suspension Strut Mount Kit - Front

KYB SM5916 Strut Mount Kit

KYB SM5916 is a front suspension strut mount kit for select Kia Sorento models. It replaces worn mount and bearing components that can transmit vibration, noise, and harshness into the cabin.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount components from KYB Mount Components
• Front bearing plate supports steering pivot function and wheel alignment
• Helps isolate road impact and reduce jarring from worn vibration insulators
• Built for front suspension service on the Kia Sorento
• Part number SM5916 for application-specific lookup

Product Details

KYB Mount Components are engineered as direct replacement suspension parts for the front of the vehicle. On the 2016-2020 Kia Sorento, the strut mount and bearing assembly plays an important role in steering response, ride control, and alignment stability. When the original mount hardens or wears, it can allow extra noise, vibration, and movement to pass through the suspension. KYB SM5916 is made to restore the function of the mount and bearing interface for this application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end clunking or knocking from worn mount components
• Excess vibration transferred through the suspension
• Steering noise or rough pivot action at the strut top
• Alignment instability caused by worn bearing plates
• Harsh ride feel from deteriorated vibration insulators

Installation Notes

Fits 2016-2020 Kia Sorento, front. Verify the mount and bearing configuration against the original part before installation. Because this component affects steering and alignment, a professional suspension inspection and alignment check after service is recommended. Part number SM5916 should be matched to the vehicle application before ordering.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-style suspension replacement components, and its strut mounts are built to address noise, vibration, and steering support concerns in the original application. SM5916 is intended for the front suspension of the Kia Sorento and follows KYB’s application-specific replacement approach.
