KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5765
Quiet a harsh, noisy front ride with the KYB strut mount (P/N: SM5490), a direct-fit front replacement for the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300. This suspension strut mount tops the strut assembly, cushioning impacts from road bumps while the mount bearing serves as the steering pivot and helps carry vehicle weight — making it critical to steering feel and front-end alignment. Old, hardened rubber insulators transmit vibration and noise into the cabin; a fresh KYB unit is designed to restore OE-quality damping for this application.
If a failed or hardened strut mount is the source of clunking, binding steering, or excess vibration on your IS300, this replaces it. Front position. As a wear part that installs left and right, replacing both sides together is good practice for balanced ride and steering.
