Cushion the impacts from road bumps and take the harshness out of your front suspension with the KYB strut mount SM5089, a direct-fit replacement for the 1992-1997 Toyota Paseo and 1991-1999 Toyota Tercel. This front suspension strut mount replaces the old, hardened vibration insulator at the top of the strut — where a worn unit transmits noise, vibration and a jarring ride into the vehicle.
On these vehicles the front bearing plate serves as the upper steering pivot and helps support vehicle weight, so it is important to steering performance and wheel alignment. Signs this KYB top mount may need replacing include noise, clunking or vibration through the strut tower, harsh ride, or binding, notchy steering. If a worn mount or seized bearing is the cause, replacing it with SM5089 restores the correct upper strut interface. Best practice is to replace the mounts on both sides together for balanced steering and ride.

Does the KYB strut mount SM5089 fit my Toyota?
It is a direct-fit front strut mount for the 1992-1997 Toyota Paseo and 1991-1999 Toyota Tercel. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact vehicle.
What does a strut top mount do?
It secures the top of the strut to the body and, on the front, houses a bearing that acts as the steering pivot. Its rubber isolates road noise and vibration from the cabin.
What are the signs I need a new KYB strut top mount?
Common signs include clunking or knocking from the strut tower, added vibration or harshness over bumps, and binding or notchy steering. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Is mounting hardware included with this KYB shock mount?
Yes. This mount comes with matched-grade studs and nuts, so you have the fasteners needed to secure it at installation.
Should I buy one or a pair as a KYB strut mount kit?
This listing covers a single mount. For even steering feel and ride, it is best practice to replace the left and right front mounts together as a matched pair.
