KYB 14-19 Toyota Highlander Strut Mount

When you're tackling suspension work on your 2016-2022 Lexus RX350, replacing the strut mounts is a key step. These mounts sit at the top of your strut assembly, acting as a cushion between the strut and the vehicle's body. Over time, the rubber can harden and crack, leading to noticeable noise, vibration, and even affecting steering feel and alignment.

KYB strut mounts are built to bring back that original ride quality. They're made with materials that help absorb road impacts, cutting down on the jarring effect that old, worn-out mounts let through. The bearing plates within these mounts are also crucial; they serve as the pivot point for steering and support the vehicle's weight, so having a well-made one is essential for proper steering response and keeping your wheel alignment in check. This particular mount includes matched grade studs and nuts, making installation more straightforward.

Replacing these mounts is a good idea whenever you're doing other suspension work, like replacing the struts themselves, to ensure you get the full benefit of the repair.
