KYB Suspension Strut Mount Kit P/N:SM5601

$67.99

Description

Take the harshness out of your front suspension with the KYB strut mount kit SM5601, a direct-fit front strut mount and bearing assembly for the 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber, 2007-2017 Jeep Compass and 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment). The strut mount is the upper attachment point between the strut and the body, and its rubber insulator cushions road impacts while the bearing plate acts as the steering pivot and helps carry vehicle weight.

This KYB suspension strut mount kit supplies OE-quality replacement components designed for the application:

Superior rubber: reduces noise, vibration and harshness from worn, hardened insulators.
Mount bearing: provides smoother steering and helps retain front-end alignment.
Matched-grade studs and nuts: included for a secure mounting.

If old, hardened mounts are the cause of front-end vibration, noise or a notchy steering feel, replacing them with this kit addresses that source. Front bearing plates are critical to steering performance and wheel alignment, so an alignment check after installation is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KYB strut mount kit SM5601 fit?

It is a direct-fit front replacement for the 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber, 2007-2017 Jeep Compass and 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.

Is this a front or rear strut mount?

This is a front strut mount kit. The front bearing plate serves as the steering pivot and helps support vehicle weight, so it is critical to steering and alignment.

What comes in this suspension strut mount kit?

It includes the strut mount with its rubber insulator, the mount bearing, and matched-grade studs and nuts for mounting.

What are the signs my strut mounts need replacing?

Old, hardened mounts can transmit extra noise, vibration and harshness into the cabin and may cause a notchy or stiff steering feel. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Should I get a wheel alignment after installing this kit?

An alignment check is recommended. The front bearing plate is the steering pivot and affects wheel alignment, so verifying alignment after installation is good practice.
