Quiet a harsh, noisy front end with the KYB strut mount kit SM5196, a front-position replacement designed as a direct fit for the 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX. This suspension strut mount kit swaps in worn, hardened vibration insulators with fresh OE-quality components matched to the application, helping restore the ride isolation and steering feel the factory mounts once provided.
Superior rubber: Cushions impacts from road bumps to help reduce the noise, vibration and harshness that old, hardened mounts transmit into the vehicle.
Mount bearings: Provide smoother steering and help retain front-end alignment. The front bearing plates act as the steering pivots and support vehicle weight, making them critical to steering performance and wheel alignment.
Matched-grade hardware: Includes matched grade studs and nuts for a proper, secure installation.
If failed or hardened strut mounts are the cause of front-end noise, vibration or steering harshness on your 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX, this KYB kit replaces them with OE-quality parts engineered for each application.
