KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5012

$34.99

Description

Help quiet worn-mount noise and keep your steering turning smoothly with the KYB strut mount SM5012, a direct-fit front replacement for the listed applications. It fits many Volkswagen models, among them the 1985-1996 Volkswagen Jetta, 1990-1997 Volkswagen Passat and 1985-1996 Volkswagen Golf; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. This suspension strut mount steps in for old, hardened vibration insulators that pass road harshness straight into the cabin.

KYB builds each unit as an OE-quality replacement designed for the application, cushioning the impacts from road bumps to help reduce the jarring, noise and vibration that tired mounts transmit. It pairs its rubber isolator with a bearing plate that serves as a steering pivot.

Superior rubber: reduces noise, vibration and harshness.
Mount bearing plate: serves as the steering pivot and supports vehicle weight, helping provide smoother steering and retain front-end alignment.
Matched-grade studs and nuts: included for a secure, correctly-fitted installation.
Application-designed: OE-quality replacement components engineered for each vehicle to optimize suspension performance.

Strut mounts install per side, so many jobs replace both fronts together for balanced ride quality.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a direct-fit Jetta strut mount for the 1985-1996 Volkswagen Jetta?

Yes, the 1985-1996 Volkswagen Jetta is a listed application, along with the 1990-1997 Volkswagen Passat and 1985-1996 Volkswagen Golf. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Is this sold as a single mount or a KYB strut mount kit?

This listing covers the strut mount as described with its matched-grade studs and nuts. Because strut mounts install per side, many jobs replace both front mounts together for even ride quality.

What does a front strut mount do?

It secures the top of the strut to the body and cushions road impacts through its rubber, while its bearing plate acts as the steering pivot and helps support vehicle weight.

What are signs my strut mount may need replacing?

Clunking or knocking over bumps, groaning or binding when turning, and added noise or vibration through the steering can point to hardened mounts. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Does this KYB shock mount include hardware?

Yes, it comes with matched-grade studs and nuts. Refer to your vehicle service information for the correct torque and installation procedure.
