What is the main job of a strut mount?

The strut mount connects the strut assembly to the vehicle's body. The front bearing plates within the mount act as steering pivots and support the vehicle's weight, which is critical for steering performance and wheel alignment.

How do KYB strut mounts improve ride quality?

KYB strut mounts cushion impacts from road bumps. They replace old, hardened vibration insulators that can transmit jarring effects, noise, and vibration into the vehicle.

Does this strut mount come with all necessary hardware?

Product Details

The front bearing plates on your 2001-2002 Kia Rio are critical steering pivots that also support the vehicle's weight. When the original strut mounts wear out, they can transmit jarring impacts, noise, and vibration from road bumps directly into the cabin, and also negatively affect steering performance and wheel alignment. These KYB Strut Mounts are designed as OE quality replacements to bring that critical suspension component back to proper working order.

KYB uses matched grade studs and nuts in their strut mounts, ensuring a solid connection and proper function. By replacing old, hardened vibration insulators, these mounts help to cushion impacts and reduce the unwanted noise and vibration that can make your ride uncomfortable. They are essential for maintaining proper steering feel and ensuring your wheels stay aligned correctly.
