Strut Mount, Spring Seat and Bearing

If you're hearing clunks or feeling extra vibration through your steering wheel, it might be time to look at your strut mounts. This is the KYB Strut Mount, part number SM5589, designed to replace the original mounts on a range of vehicles, including the Mazda 3, Mazda 5, and several Volvo models like the C30, C70, S40, and V50. These mounts are crucial because they sit at the top of your strut assembly, supporting the vehicle's weight and acting as the pivot point for steering. When they wear out, they can cause a lot of unwanted noise and harshness to come through the cabin.

KYB's strut mounts are built to restore that OE quality, helping to eliminate the vibrations and noise that old, hardened rubber can transmit. They cushion the impacts from road bumps, making your ride more comfortable and your suspension perform as it should. The front bearing plates are especially important, as they are the steering pivots and directly affect wheel alignment. By replacing worn mounts with these well-built KYB units, you're ensuring a smoother, quieter ride and maintaining proper steering function.

This kit comes with matched grade studs and nuts, making the installation process more straightforward. Replacing these mounts is often done when you're replacing the struts themselves, so it's a good time to address any wear in this area to get the most out of your suspension work.
