• OE-quality replacement for the original mount assembly

Detailed Description

KYB SM5946 is part of the KYB Mount Components line, a product range focused on replacement strut and mount hardware for specific vehicle applications. This rear upper mount cushions road inputs and helps isolate the body from the shock and strut assembly, which is important when the original mount has hardened or worn out. On vehicles such as the Ford Escape, Ford C-Max, Ford Focus, and Lincoln MKC, a worn rear upper mount can contribute to clunks, vibration, and reduced ride refinement. KYB SM5946 addresses those symptoms with a direct-fit replacement designed around the application.

What It Can Help Solve

• Rear suspension noise over bumps
• Excess vibration felt in the cabin
• Harsh impact transfer from worn mount insulators
• Clunking or rattling from the rear upper suspension area
• Loss of ride isolation from deteriorated mount components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s rear suspension configuration before ordering. Fits 2013-2019 Ford Escape, rear upper; 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC, rear upper, except electronic suspension; 2013-2018 Ford C-Max, rear upper; and 2012-2018 Ford Focus, rear upper. Confirm the original part number SM5946 against the removed component and inspect related suspension parts for wear during service.
