Over time, the vibration insulators in a strut mount harden and can pass noise, jarring and vibration into the cabin. KYB designed this suspension strut mount kit to cushion road impacts and reduce that noise and vibration. It is made with OE-quality replacement components designed for each application. At the front, the bearing plate acts as a steering pivot and helps support vehicle weight, which makes it critical to steering performance and wheel alignment.
