Rear Upper Shock Absorber Mounting Kit for 2012-2017 Toyota Prius v - KYB SM5857

Quiet a harsh, noisy rear ride with the KYB shock absorber mounting kit SM5857, a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2017 Toyota Prius v. This rear upper kit secures the top of the shock absorber to the body and isolates it from the chassis, helping keep the road vibration that worn, hardened mounts transmit out of the cabin. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.

KYB builds this suspension shock absorber mounting kit as an OE-quality replacement component designed for the specific application. If cracked, worn mounts are the source of your knocking or vibration, this kit replaces them with fresh rubber and hardware.

• Superior rubber: reduces noise, vibration and harshness from old, hardened insulators.
• Cushions road impacts: softens the jarring effect of bumps that tired mounts pass into the vehicle.
• Bushings, washers and bumper: the kit supplies these parts for the shock absorber's mounting point.

Signs a rear shock mount may need replacing include knocking or clunking over bumps, added vibration and noise, and visibly cracked or separated rubber. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
