Help cushion road impacts and keep steering smooth with the KYB strut mount kit SM5568, a front mount, seat, insulator, bearing and retainer package built to replace worn, hardened components. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala, 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse and 2005-2008 Chevrolet Uplander. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
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.
Position: front. Replacing the mounts on both sides together is recommended. Check the wheel alignment after installation.
