What is the KYB strut mount SM5215?
It is a front suspension strut mount with an internal bearing, an OE-quality replacement that cushions road impacts and reduces the noise and vibration worn mounts transmit into the vehicle.
Which vehicles does this KYB strut mount fit?
It fits the 2000-2005 Toyota Celica and MR2 Spyder, 2003-2013 Toyota Corolla, 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe, and 2004-2009 Toyota Prius. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Is this a front or rear strut mount?

What are the signs my front strut mount may need replacing?
Signs include noise, clunking or vibration from the front suspension and steering roughness. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.
Should I replace both front strut mounts at once?
Replacing the mounts on both front corners together is good practice for balanced ride quality and even wear, though this listing covers a single mount.
