Help quiet a harsh, noisy ride with the KYB strut mount SM5189, a direct-fit rear strut mount for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2001 Chevrolet Metro, 1989-1991 Chevrolet Sprint and 1989-1991 Pontiac Firefly; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. Mounted at the top of the rear strut, it cushions impacts from road bumps and helps reduce the noise, vibration, and jarring that old, hardened mounts transmit into the cabin.
Built to OE-quality standards for each application, this suspension strut mount uses superior rubber to dampen road harshness. If worn mounts are the source of your ride complaints, replacing them helps restore quieter, more controlled travel.
- Superior rubber isolator: helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness.
- Cushions road impacts: softens the jarring that old, hardened mounts pass into the vehicle.
- Matched-grade studs and nuts: included for a secure installation.
- Application-specific fit: an OE-quality replacement matched to the listed vehicles.
Signs a mount may need attention include clunking or knocking over bumps, increased vibration, or visibly cracked, hardened rubber. Sold individually; for even ride quality, consider replacing the mounts on both sides together. Diagnose the cause before ordering.
