Cushion road impacts and quiet the harshness that worn, hardened insulators send into the cabin with the KYB strut mount kit SM5542. This front suspension strut mount kit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 INFINITI G35 and 2003-2009 NISSAN 350Z (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for full engine-level fitment). KYB engineers these mounts as OE-quality replacement components designed for each application, so they help optimize suspension performance where old mounts have gone stiff.
Signs a front strut mount may need replacing include clunks or knocks over bumps, a groaning or binding feel when turning, and increased vibration through the steering. If a worn strut mount is the cause of those symptoms, this kit replaces it. Diagnose the source before ordering.
