KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5029
Quiet a noisy, harsh-riding front suspension with the KYB strut mount SM5187, a front strut mount that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1989-1997 Ford Thunderbird and 1989-1997 Mercury Cougar. This suspension strut mount replaces the old, hardened rubber insulator that lets road impacts, noise and vibration transmit into the cabin.
If a worn strut mount is the cause of clunking, vibration or steering harshness, this KYB shock mount replaces it and installs as the front unit for these applications. The KYB strut mount kit includes matched-grade studs and nuts, and because mounts wear as a pair, replacing both sides together keeps ride and steering feel balanced.
