KYB Suspension Strut Mount Kit P/N:SM5011

$41.99

Description

When the original front strut mounts harden with age and start transmitting road shock into the cabin, the KYB strut mount kit SM5011 drops in as a direct-fit front-position replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1980-1984 Volkswagen Jetta, 1985-1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet and 1975-1989 Volkswagen Scirocco; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. This suspension strut mount kit connects the top of the strut to the body, and at the front its bearing plate serves as the steering pivot while helping support vehicle weight.

Superior rubber: helps reduce the noise, vibration, and harshness that old, hardened insulators transmit into the vehicle.
Mount bearings: the front bearing plates act as the steering pivots and help retain front-end alignment for smoother steering.
OE-quality replacement: designed for each application to help maintain proper suspension performance.
Matched grade studs and nuts: supplied as part of the kit.

Signs the front strut mounts may need replacing include noise, clunking, or vibration from the front suspension along with steering that feels rough or imprecise. If worn strut mounts are the cause, this kit replaces them. Because the mounts double as the steering pivot, have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
