KYB Suspension Shock Absorber Mounting Kit,Suspension Strut Mount Kit P/N:SM5059
Quiet the rear suspension and keep the rear shock/strut properly located with the KYB Suspension Shock Absorber Mounting Kit / Suspension Strut Mount Kit (SM5377). This rear, rear-upper mounting kit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2001 Audi A4 and the 1982-1988 Volkswagen Quantum. This part is listed under both the mounting-kit and strut-mount-kit names.
Worn or deteriorated mounts can show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, noise from the rear suspension, or added vibration. If a failed rear-upper mount is the cause of those signs, this kit replaces it. Diagnose the underlying cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources. Best practice is to service the mounts on both sides together for even, balanced ride quality.
