Cushion road impacts and quiet a worn front suspension with the KYB strut mount kit SM5188, a front strut mount and bearing assembly designed for each application it fits. It installs on the 1998-2001 Chevrolet Metro, 1989-1991 Chevrolet Sprint, 1989-1991 Pontiac Firefly, 1989-1997 Geo Metro, and 1989-1994 Suzuki Swift — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage.

As the top mounting point for the strut, this suspension strut mount kit isolates the strut from the body and supports vehicle weight at the front, while its bearing plate acts as the steering pivot. Old, hardened insulators pass road bumps, noise, and vibration into the cabin; fresh KYB rubber helps reduce that harshness.

  • OE-quality replacement: optimizes suspension performance with components designed for each application.
  • Superior rubber: helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness from old, hardened mounts.
  • Mount bearing: provides smoother steering and helps retain front-end alignment.
  • Matched-grade studs and nuts included for installation.

KYB strut mounts and bearing plates carry a strong reputation for quality in the industry.
