Silence clunks and quiet a harsh, jarring ride with the KYB strut mount kit SM5873, a front strut mount and bearing assembly engineered and built specifically for the 2015-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, the 2015-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and the 2014-2015 Kia Sorento. This suspension strut mount kit replaces old, hardened vibration insulators that transmit road noise and vibration into the cabin, restoring OE-quality operation at each corner it fits.
KYB designs each mount to cushion impacts from road bumps and reduce the jarring effect, noise, and vibration that worn mounts pass through. The front bearing plate serves as the steering pivot and supports vehicle weight, making it critical to steering feel and wheel alignment.
- Superior rubber: reduces noise, vibration, and harshness from the top of the strut.
- Mount bearing: provides smoother steering and helps retain front-end alignment.
- Matched-grade studs and nuts: included for a secure, correctly torqued installation.
- Application-specific design: OE-quality replacement components built for the listed vehicles.
Signs a front strut mount may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, steering that binds or feels notchy, and increased vibration through the steering wheel. If a failed mount is the cause, this front kit replaces it. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full engine-level fitment.

Is this a front or rear strut mount?
This is a front strut mount and bearing kit. The front bearing plate acts as the steering pivot and supports vehicle weight, so it's important to steering performance and wheel alignment.
What's included in this suspension strut mount kit?
The kit includes the strut mount with its rubber vibration isolator, the mount bearing, and matched-grade studs and nuts for installation.
What are the signs of a worn strut mount?
Common signs include clunking or knocking over bumps, notchy or binding steering, and added vibration through the steering wheel. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as these symptoms can have other sources.
Should I replace both front strut mounts at the same time?
Replacing both front mounts together is a good practice for balanced ride and steering feel, since both sides typically wear at a similar rate. Confirm what your repair requires.
