KYB Suspension Strut Mount Kit P/N:SM5113
Smooth out road impacts and quiet a worn rear suspension with the KYB strut mount kit, MPN SM5197. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1997 Volkswagen Passat, restoring the cushioning connection between the top of the rear strut and the vehicle body.
Over time the rubber insulators in a strut mount harden and crack, letting more road noise and vibration reach the cabin. KYB strut mounts use superior rubber to cushion impacts from road bumps and reduce the jarring effect, noise and vibration that old mounts transmit into the vehicle.
If hardened or separated mounts are the source of clunking over bumps or added vibration, this kit replaces them. Always inspect related suspension components and follow the vehicle service procedure during installation.
