Front Strut Mount Bearing for 1999-2009 Saab 9-5 & More - KYB SM5338

Keep the front strut pivoting smoothly and help reduce the vibration and noise that old, hardened mounts transmit with the KYB strut bearing SM5338. This front strut bearing drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2003 SAAB 9-3 and 1999-2009 SAAB 9-5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

Also known as a suspension strut bearing, the front bearing plate acts as the steering pivot and helps support vehicle weight, which makes it critical to steering feel and wheel alignment.

• Smoother steering: designed to provide smoother steering and help retain front end alignment.
• Reduced NVH: cushions impacts from road bumps to reduce the jarring, noise, and vibration that worn mounts pass into the vehicle.
• OE-matched build: built to a design and quality that matches or exceeds OE.
• Application-specific: an OE-quality replacement designed for the listed application.

If a worn strut bearing is the cause of binding steering, popping or clunking when turning, or added front-end harshness, the SM5338 replaces it with a new steering pivot at the top of the strut.
