This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this the correct Honda Civic strut mount kit?
Yes — SM5403 is KYB's front strut mount kit for the 2001-2005 Honda Civic, and it also fits the 2002-2006 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2001 Acura EL, and 2002-2006 Acura RSX. Check the Buyer's Guide to confirm your year.
What's included in the kit?
The kit includes the strut mount and its bearing, along with matched-grade studs and nuts.
Is this a front or rear strut mount?
It's a front strut mount kit. The front bearing plates serve as the steering pivots and support vehicle weight, so they're critical to steering and wheel alignment.
What are the signs my strut mounts need replacing?
Clunking or knocking from the strut towers, added road noise and vibration in the cabin, or steering that feels notchy or binds when turning can indicate worn mounts. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Strut mounts on an axle tend to wear at a similar rate, so replacing both front sides together is good practice for balanced steering feel and ride quality. Confirm the quantity needed in the Buyer's Guide.
