Cushion road impacts and take the harshness out of every bump with the KYB strut mount SM5184, a front replacement designed for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. Over time the original vibration insulators harden, transmitting jarring, noise, and vibration into the vehicle — this suspension strut mount replaces those tired components with OE-quality parts designed for the application to help optimize suspension performance.
On the front axle the bearing plate is the steering pivot and supports vehicle weight, so it is critical to steering feel and wheel alignment. Fresh rubber and a smooth-turning bearing help settle the ride and keep the front end tracking as intended.
- Superior rubber: reduces noise, vibration and harshness from worn, hardened insulators.
- Mount bearing: provides smoother steering and helps retain front-end alignment.
- Matched grade studs and nuts: included for a secure, correct fit.
- OE-quality replacement: engineered for this specific application.
If failing front mounts are the cause of clunks, harshness, or steering complaints on your 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner, this KYB unit replaces them. See the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this KYB strut mount fit my 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner?
It's a front replacement designed for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm engine-level fitment for your specific vehicle before ordering.
What does a strut mount do?
It secures the top of the strut to the body, isolates road vibration through its rubber, and on the front axle its bearing plate acts as the steering pivot while supporting vehicle weight.
Does this KYB strut mount kit include mounting hardware?
Yes — it comes with matched grade studs and nuts for installation. Consult the vehicle service information for correct torque specs and any fasteners that must be replaced.
Is this a KYB shock mount or a strut mount?
This is a strut mount for a strut-type front suspension. Some shoppers search KYB shock mount or KYB top mounts, but this part mounts the strut assembly to the body.
What are the signs I need a new strut mount?
Hardened or worn mounts transmit extra noise, vibration and harshness, and can cause clunks or steering complaints. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
