Cushion road impacts and steady your front-end steering with the KYB strut mount kit SM5403, a direct-fit front replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2002-2006 Honda CR-V, 2001-2005 Honda Civic and 2003-2011 Honda Element; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. This suspension strut mount kit swaps out old, hardened mounts that transmit jarring, noise, and vibration into the vehicle.
- Superior rubber helps reduce noise, vibration and harshness.
- Mount bearings are designed to provide smoother steering and help retain front-end alignment.
- Front bearing plates act as the steering pivots and support vehicle weight — critical to steering performance and wheel alignment.
- Matched-grade studs and nuts for secure installation.
KYB builds these as OE-quality replacement components designed for each application. Signs your mounts may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the strut towers, added road noise and vibration in the cabin, or steering that binds or feels notchy when turning. Diagnose the cause before replacing, and see the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm the right fit and engine for your vehicle.

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 "Vehicles it fits" section.
