Quiet the ride and restore smooth steering with the KYB strut mount kit SM5254, a front kit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 BMW X5 (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for full application details). This assembly bundles the strut mount, bearing and spring seat so you can renew the worn insulators that transmit noise and harshness into the cabin.
KYB strut mounts replace old, hardened vibration insulators that pass road impacts, noise and vibration into the vehicle. On this front application, the bearing plate serves as the steering pivot and helps support vehicle weight, so it plays a direct role in steering response and wheel alignment.
- OE-quality replacement: designed for the specific application to help restore original suspension performance.
- Superior rubber: cushions road impacts to reduce noise, vibration and harshness.
- Mount bearing: provides smoother steering and helps retain front-end alignment.
- Matched-grade studs and nuts: included for a proper, secure installation.
If failed strut mounts are the cause of your noise, vibration or steering harshness, this kit replaces them.
