Why is it important to replace strut mounts?

Strut mounts cushion impacts and absorb vibrations from the road. When they wear out, they can cause increased noise, a harsher ride, and can negatively affect steering performance and wheel alignment.

What does the bearing plate do?

The bearing plate is a key component of the strut mount. It serves as the pivot point for steering and supports the vehicle's weight at the top of the strut assembly, ensuring proper steering function and alignment.

Does this strut mount come with all necessary hardware?

This KYB Strut Mount includes matched grade studs and nuts. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specific installation procedures.

Product Details

When you're replacing the struts on your 2002-2005 Kia Rio, don't forget about the strut mounts. These mounts sit at the top of the strut assembly and are crucial for a smooth ride. Over time, the rubber in these mounts can harden and crack, leading to extra noise, vibration, and even affecting your steering and alignment.

KYB's Strut Mounts are built to OE quality standards, meaning they'll perform just like the original parts. They help cushion impacts from road bumps, significantly reducing the jarring effect and noise that old, worn-out mounts transmit into the cabin. The front bearing plates, which are part of this mount, also act as the steering pivots and support the vehicle's weight, making them critical for proper steering feel and maintaining wheel alignment. This specific mount is for the front right side of your vehicle.
