KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5079
Quiet a harsh, noisy ride and keep your steering precise with the KYB strut mount SM5386, a direct-fit replacement for the FRONT RIGHT position on the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. As the top mounting point where the strut meets the body, this suspension strut mount cushions impacts from road bumps to reduce the jarring, noise and vibration that old, hardened insulators transmit into the vehicle. The front bearing plate acts as the steering pivot and helps support vehicle weight, making it critical to steering feel and wheel alignment.
If a worn or hardened strut mount is the source of clunking over bumps, ride harshness, or steering that feels rough, replacing it with this KYB unit addresses that failure. Because mounts wear in pairs, consider servicing both sides for balanced steering and ride.
