KYB Suspension Strut Mount Kit P/N:SM5949
Quiet a harsh, noisy front end with the KYB strut mount kit (P/N SM5170), a front suspension strut mount kit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2003 Ford Escort and 1991-1999 Mercury Tracer. KYB strut mounts replace the old, hardened vibration insulators that transmit noise and harshness into the cabin, cushioning the impacts from road bumps to reduce the jarring effect that worn mounts pass along.
KYB builds these as OE-quality replacement components designed for each listed application. If worn front strut mounts are the cause of your steering harshness or clunking, this kit replaces them.
