KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5681
KYB SM5255 front strut mount for the 1996-2002 BMW Z3 and other vehicles cushions impacts from road bumps. This KYB strut mount, also called a suspension strut mount, replaces old, hardened vibration insulators that pass noise and vibration into the vehicle.
Cracked or hardened rubber, clunks or rattles over bumps, and a rough or loose feel in the steering can mean a front strut mount is worn, though a worn strut or tie rod end can be behind noises like that too.
The vehicles it fits include the 1996-2002 BMW Z3, the 1995-1999 BMW 318ti and the 1996-1999 BMW 328i. Each takes two, one on each side of the front axle.
