KYB SM5926 Suspension Strut Mount Kit - Front

KYB Front Strut Mount Kit SM5926

KYB SM5926 is a front suspension strut mount kit for select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications. It replaces worn vibration insulators and bearing components that can add noise, harshness, and steering looseness to the suspension.

Key Features

• OE-quality replacement strut mount and bearing components
• Helps isolate road impact, vibration, and suspension noise
• Front bearing plate supports steering pivot function and wheel alignment
• Built for front suspension service on select Ford Flex, Taurus, Taurus X, Lincoln MKS, and Lincoln MKT applications
• KYB Mount Components line for suspension repair work

Product Details

KYB Mount Components SM5926 is engineered for front suspension service where the original mount and bearing have worn, hardened, or lost their ability to absorb vibration. On vehicles such as the 2009-2011 Ford Flex, 2010-2011 Ford Taurus, 2009-2011 Lincoln MKS, 2010-2011 Lincoln MKT, and 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X, the front strut mount and bearing assembly plays a direct role in steering response and alignment stability. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end clunking or rattling from worn strut mounts
• Excess vibration transmitted into the cabin
• Steering bind or reduced steering smoothness
• Uneven suspension feel caused by deteriorated bearing plates
• Alignment concerns related to worn front mount hardware

Installation Notes

Install SM5926 on the front suspension only for the listed applications. Verify vehicle year, make, model, and front mount-and-bearing configuration before ordering. Because strut mount service affects steering and alignment, a professional alignment check after installation is recommended.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-style suspension replacement parts, and the Mount Components line is built around application-specific fit and function for front strut service.
