What is the main job of a strut mount?

The strut mount connects your strut assembly to the vehicle's body. It also acts as a pivot point for steering and supports the weight of the vehicle, playing a key role in steering performance and wheel alignment.

How does a worn strut mount affect my car?

Worn strut mounts can cause increased vibration and noise from road impacts. They can also negatively affect steering feel and contribute to wheel alignment issues, making your ride less comfortable and potentially impacting tire wear.

Does this strut mount come with all necessary hardware?

This strut mount includes matched grade studs and nuts. However, it is always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of required components and any additional hardware needed for proper installation.

Product Details

The front bearing plates on your 2002-2005 Kia Rio are critical steering pivots that also support the vehicle's weight. When the original strut mounts wear out, they can transmit jarring road impacts, noise, and vibration directly into the cabin, making your ride uncomfortable. KYB's Strut Mounts are designed to replace these worn components, restoring OE quality and performance to your suspension.

These strut mounts are built with matched grade studs and nuts, ensuring a solid connection. By cushioning the impacts from road bumps, they significantly reduce the harshness and noise that old mounts allow through. This means a more comfortable ride and improved steering performance, as the bearing plates are essential for proper wheel alignment and steering response.
