Detailed Description

Westar EM-9373 is an automatic transmission mount for 2001-2006 Kia Optima, 2001-2005 Kia Magentis, and 2002-2004 Hyundai Sonata applications, with 2005 Hyundai Sonata coverage for Korea Built and US Built vehicles. This mount is engineered for the specific vehicle platform, helping restore proper transmission support and maintain the intended drivetrain alignment. If you are replacing a worn automatic transmission mount on a Kia Optima or Hyundai Sonata, EM-9373 provides a direct-fit service part built to match the original application requirements.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 104-1585 and NAPA 620-1686 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive drivetrain movement under acceleration or load
• Vibration felt through the cabin from a worn transmission mount
• Clunking or shifting noise caused by deteriorated mount support
• Misalignment between the transmission and chassis mounting points
• Loss of original mount stability on aging Kia and Hyundai vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle build details before ordering, especially for 2005 Hyundai Sonata applications, which are listed for both Korea Built and US Built vehicles. Confirm the automatic transmission mount location and compare the original mount shape, bracket layout, and attachment points before installation. For best results, inspect adjacent drivetrain mounts and related bushings for wear while servicing the mount.
