KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5236

$35.99

Description

Help quiet a jarring, noisy ride and support smoother steering with the KYB strut mount SM5236, a front suspension strut mount built to replace old, hardened vibration insulators. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2000 Volkswagen Passat, 2001-2005 Audi Allroad Quattro and 1998-2004 Audi A6 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

On these front applications, the bearing plate acts as the steering pivot and helps support vehicle weight, so it is critical to steering feel and wheel alignment. KYB lists this part as a shock/strut mount, and shoppers often search for these upper units as KYB top mounts.

Superior rubber: cushions road impacts to reduce noise, vibration and harshness the vehicle would otherwise transmit.
Mount bearing: provides smoother steering and helps retain front-end alignment.
Matched-grade studs and nuts: for a secure, application-specific fit.
OE-quality replacement: designed for each application to help optimize suspension performance.

Worn mounts can produce clunking or knocking over bumps, steering noise, and vibration. If a failed strut mount is the cause, this KYB unit replaces it.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the KYB strut mount SM5236?

It's a front strut mount that sits at the top of the strut, acting as the steering pivot and cushioning road impacts. Its superior rubber reduces noise, vibration and harshness.

Will this KYB shock mount work as a 1998-2000 Volkswagen Passat strut mount?

Yes. Front applications include the 1998-2000 Volkswagen Passat, 2001-2005 Audi Allroad Quattro and 1998-2004 Audi A6 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

What are signs my strut mount may need replacing?

Clunking or knocking over bumps, steering noise, and vibration can point to a worn mount. Diagnose the cause first, since these signs can also come from other suspension parts.

Does it come with hardware?

Yes. It features matched-grade studs and nuts designed for the application to provide a secure fit.

Do I need to replace both sides?

Each front strut uses its own mount. For balanced steering and even wear, consider replacing both front mounts at the same time, and follow the vehicle's service procedure.
