Strut-Mate Product Line

Monroe Strut-Mate mounting kits are made to complement Monroe struts by addressing the upper strut attachment point. For front-end suspension repairs on Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, and Mercury Cougar models, the 902953 kit supports a complete strut service approach by replacing the mount and bearing together.

This part cross-references KYB SM5138 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from the upper strut area
• Excess vibration transmitted into the cabin
• Steering feel affected by worn strut mount components
• Noise during turning or suspension travel
• Wear found during front strut replacement on Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, or Mercury Cougar
