Product Details

These KYB strut mounts feature matched grade studs and nuts, a detail that helps ensure a solid connection when you're replacing worn-out suspension components. Old strut mounts can harden over time, leading to unwanted vibrations and noise that travel into the cabin. Replacing them with these OE quality parts from KYB helps restore your vehicle's suspension performance by cushioning impacts from road bumps and reducing that jarring effect.

The front bearing plates on these mounts are critical; they act as the steering pivots and support the vehicle's weight, directly impacting steering feel and wheel alignment. KYB has a reputation for well-built suspension parts, and these strut mounts are designed to be a direct replacement for a variety of BMW models from the 1980s and early 1990s, including popular examples like the 318i, 325e, and 528e. Installing these will help quiet down your ride and maintain proper steering geometry.
