Product Details

KYB SM5967 is engineered for the front suspension on the Mini Cooper and is part of KYB’s Mount Components line. The mount and bearing plate assembly helps isolate road impacts, reduce jarring feedback, and maintain the steering and alignment characteristics expected from the original suspension design. KYB’s strut mount and bearing plate components are widely used as direct replacement parts for restoring front-end feel on vehicles with worn upper mount hardware.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excess vibration felt through the steering and body
• Noise caused by hardened or deteriorated mount insulators
• Harsh ride quality over bumps and uneven pavement
• Steering response issues related to worn front bearing plates

Installation Notes

Install on the front suspension only and verify the vehicle is not equipped with Electronic Controlled Suspension before ordering. Because strut mount service affects steering geometry and wheel alignment, a professional alignment check is recommended after installation. Confirm the Mini Cooper application and part number SM5967 against the vehicle before service.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-style suspension replacement components, and the SM5967 is built to match the application-specific requirements of the Mini Cooper front suspension. The design focuses on restoring mount isolation, steering support, and alignment stability with a direct replacement approach.
