KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5118
KYB SM5053 front strut mount for the 1992-1995 BMW 525i and other vehicles cushions road bumps and cuts the vibration and noise that reach the cabin. This KYB strut mount replaces old, hardened vibration insulators that pass noise and vibration into the car.
A clunk or rattle over bumps, a harsh or noisy ride, or steering that feels rough can mean a suspension strut mount is worn, though a tired strut or a worn ball joint can be behind the same signs, so find the cause first.
This front strut mount is an Original Equipment quality replacement designed for each application, including the 1993 BMW 525iT and the 1991-1992 BMW 318i. The 1992-1995 BMW 525i, the 1993 BMW 525iT and the 1991-1992 BMW 318i all call for two, so order a pair and fit them together. If your BMW is not named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section on this page.

Do KYB top mounts like the SM5053 help with steering?
