KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5681
Cushion road impacts and cut the noise and vibration that old, hardened mounts pass into the cabin with the KYB strut mount SM5244, a rear left suspension strut mount that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, 2002-2003 Subaru Impreza, and 1995-1999 Subaru Legacy. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
As mounts age, the rubber hardens and cracks, letting road shock and harshness through to the body. This KYB unit provides that isolation at the rear left corner and is built to KYB's reputation for high-quality replacement mounts. It is sold individually; replacing both sides together is a common best practice for balanced ride quality.
