KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5681
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.
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.
