KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5681
Quiet a noisy, harsh-riding rear suspension with the KYB strut mount SM5245, a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, 2002-2003 Subaru Impreza, and 1995-1999 Subaru Legacy. Fitted in the rear right position, this suspension strut mount connects the top of the strut assembly to the vehicle body, and its superior rubber cushions impacts from road bumps to reduce the jarring, noise, and vibration that old, hardened mounts transmit into the cabin.
Signs a mount may be worn include clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, added road vibration and noise in the cabin, or cracked, hardened rubber — diagnose the cause before replacing. This listing is for one rear right mount.
