Quiet a harsh, noisy ride and restore smooth steering with the KYB strut mount kit SM5818, a front suspension strut mount kit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2017 Hyundai Accent. It replaces old, hardened vibration insulators that transmit road impacts, noise and vibration into the vehicle, cushioning bumps to reduce the jarring effect at the top of the strut.
On a strut-equipped front suspension, the bearing plate serves as the steering pivot and supports vehicle weight, so it is critical to steering performance and wheel alignment. KYB builds these mounts as OE-quality replacement components designed for each application. If worn front strut mounts are the cause of clunking on turns, harshness over bumps, or steering that feels rough, this kit replaces them.
