Product Details

KYB SM5917 is engineered as a replacement strut mount for the rear upper position on 2018-2025 Chevrolet Equinox and 2018-2025 GMC Terrain applications listed below. KYB’s Mount Components line focuses on restoring the function of the original suspension mounting points, including the vibration isolation that deteriorates as factory insulators harden with age. This part cross-references 13377279 and 84871917 for the same application.

On vehicles like the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain, the rear upper mount helps isolate suspension impacts from bumps and road irregularities while maintaining proper support at the mounting point. The KYB SM5917 part number is also referenced as an OE-style replacement for service work where the original mount has worn, cracked, or lost damping performance.

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension mount area
• Excess vibration transmitted into the cabin
• Harsh ride quality over bumps and rough pavement
• Noise caused by hardened or deteriorated mount insulators
• Loss of smooth suspension movement at the rear upper mount
