Take the harshness out of every bump and keep your front struts properly located with the KYB Suspension Strut Mount Kit SM5328. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the front suspension on the 1997-2001 INFINITI Q45, restoring the cushioned connection between the strut assembly and the vehicle body.
- Strut-to-body mount: Secures the top of the front strut to the chassis, helping locate the strut and carry suspension loads through the mounting point.
- Vibration isolation: The rubber isolator helps dampen road vibration and noise transmitted from the strut into the cabin.
- Direct-fit kit: Supplies the mounting components for the listed application to replace worn or deteriorated original front mounts.
Worn strut mounts often show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, a groaning or binding feel when turning, or increased road vibration at the front of the vehicle. If a failed front strut mount is the cause of these symptoms, this kit replaces it. Strut mounts wear on both sides at similar rates, so replacing the mounts on both front corners together is a good practice for balanced ride and handling. Diagnose the source of any noise before ordering.
