Product Details

KYB Mount Components are built as application-specific replacement parts for suspension service. This SM5992 mount is made for the rear upper position on the Tesla 3 and is engineered to replace hardened or worn mount components that can create harshness, clunks, and excess vibration. For Tesla 3 owners servicing the rear suspension, KYB SM5992 provides a direct replacement solution that supports proper ride quality and suspension response.

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

What It Helps Fix

• Noise from worn rear upper strut mount components
• Excess vibration felt through the chassis
• Harsh impact transfer over bumps and rough pavement
• Suspension clunking caused by deteriorated mount insulation
• Reduced steering and alignment stability when mount wear affects suspension geometry

Installation Notes

Fits 2017-2021 Tesla 3, rear upper. Confirm the vehicle year and suspension position before installation. Inspect related suspension parts, bearing surfaces, and surrounding hardware for wear during service so the new mount can perform as intended.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-style suspension replacement components, and the SM5992 follows that approach with application-specific construction for the Tesla 3 rear upper mount location.
