KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5660
Quiet a harsh, noisy ride and keep steering crisp with the KYB strut mount SM5049, a front mount built to replace old, hardened vibration insulators that transmit jarring, noise and vibration into the vehicle. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2002 Chevrolet Prizm, 1990-1991 Lexus ES250, 1990-1991 and 1993-2002 Toyota Corolla, and 1989-1997 Geo Prizm — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
The front bearing plate serves as the steering pivot and supports vehicle weight, making it critical to steering performance and wheel alignment. Sold individually; because the mounts wear together, replacing both sides as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride and steering.
