KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5045
KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5045
$31.99

Settle rough-road noise and vibration with the KYB strut mount SM5045, a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1981-1985 Mazda GLC, 1986-1989 Mazda 323, 1987-1989 Mercury Tracer, and 1991-1994 Mercury Capri. This rear suspension strut mount cushions the impacts from road bumps and dampens the noise, harshness, and jarring that old, hardened insulators transmit into the vehicle.

  • Superior rubber: reduces noise, vibration, and harshness for a smoother ride.
  • OE-quality replacement: designed for each application to help optimize suspension performance.
  • Matched grade studs and nuts: included on the mount for a proper, secure install.
  • Top-of-strut location: this KYB strut top mount seats the upper end of the rear strut and locates it against the body.

KYB builds this mount to replace tired, hardened units that let extra noise and movement reach the cabin. If a failed rear strut mount is behind the knocking or vibration you feel over bumps, this component replaces it. Engine and full application details are on the Buyer's Guide tab.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the KYB SM5045?

It is a rear strut mount that cushions road impacts and dampens the noise, vibration, and harshness that worn, hardened mounts pass into the vehicle.

Which vehicles does the SM5045 fit?

It's a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1981-1985 Mazda GLC, 1986-1989 Mazda 323, 1987-1989 Mercury Tracer, and 1991-1994 Mercury Capri. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

What are the signs of a worn strut mount?

Common signs include clunking or knocking over bumps, added vibration, and noise from the suspension. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other parts can produce similar symptoms.

Does this KYB shock mount include hardware?

Should I replace both sides at once?

Replacing the mount on both corners of the axle together is good practice for a balanced, even ride, even if you only feel a problem on one side.
