Quiet a noisy, harsh-riding front end with the KYB strut mount kit (MPN SM5116), a front-position replacement suspension strut mount kit that drops in on the 1995-2003 Ford Windstar. It pairs the strut mount with its bearing to cushion impacts from road bumps and cut the jarring, noise and vibration that old, hardened insulators transmit into the cabin.
Worn strut mounts often show as clunking or knocking over bumps, increased vibration, and steering that feels rough or binds when turning. If a failed mount is the cause, installing this kit addresses it. Because these parts wear evenly side to side, replacing both front mounts together is good practice for balanced ride and steering.
