What is the main job of a strut mount?

A strut mount connects your vehicle's strut assembly to the car's body. It also acts as a pivot point for steering and helps to absorb road shock and vibration, contributing to a quieter and smoother ride.

Why should I replace my strut mounts?

Over time, strut mounts can harden and crack, leading to increased noise, vibration, and a harsher ride. Replacing them, especially when installing new struts, ensures optimal suspension performance and steering feel.

Does this strut mount come with all the necessary hardware?

Yes, this KYB strut mount includes matched grade studs and nuts, which are essential for proper installation and secure mounting.

Product Details

KYB is well-known for their suspension components, and their strut mounts are designed to bring your BMW's ride back to its best. If you're noticing extra noise or vibration coming from your rear suspension, especially over bumps, worn-out strut mounts are often the culprit. This part is designed to replace those old, hardened insulators, helping to cushion impacts and reduce the jarring effect that old mounts transmit into the cabin.

These mounts are critical for your suspension's performance. The bearing plates, which are part of this assembly, act as the steering pivots and support the vehicle's weight. Keeping them in good shape is important for steering feel and maintaining proper wheel alignment. This particular mount is built to OE quality standards, ensuring it fits right and performs as expected. It comes with matched grade studs and nuts, simplifying installation.

This strut mount fits a wide range of BMW models, including the 318is, 325i, and Z3. Replacing these mounts when you replace your struts is a good idea to ensure you get the most out of your new suspension components.
