KYB Suspension Shock Absorber Mount,Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5237
Quiet a worn, noisy rear suspension with the KYB strut mount SM5251, a rear upper suspension strut mount that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1989-1992 BMW 525i, 2001-2003 BMW 530i and 1997-2003 BMW 540i; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. It connects the top of the rear strut to the body and uses rubber to cushion road-bump impacts, helping reduce the jarring, noise and vibration that old, hardened insulators transmit into the cabin.
As the cushioned connection between the strut and the chassis, this mount helps locate the top of the strut and isolate suspension movement from the body, helping limit the harshness a hardened, worn mount passes into the body. If a failed or hardened strut mount is the source of clunking, added vibration or a harsh rear ride, this KYB strut top mount replaces it. Refer to the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
