KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5514

Quiet a harsh, noisy front end with the KYB strut mount SM5514, a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1997 Honda Accord, 1992-1994 Acura Vigor, 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey, 1995-1998 Acura TL, 1996-1999 Isuzu Oasis and 1997-1999 Acura CL. Built as a mount plate with insulator, it replaces old, hardened front mounts that transmit road shock, noise and vibration into the cabin.

• Superior rubber insulator: cushions impacts from road bumps to help reduce noise, vibration and harshness.
• Mount bearing: provides smoother steering and helps retain front-end alignment.
• Matched-grade studs and nuts: included for a secure install.
• OE-quality replacement: designed for each application.

As a front unit, the bearing plate acts as the steering pivot and helps support vehicle weight, so it plays a role in steering performance and wheel alignment. If old, hardened mounts are the cause of your clunks, groaning on turns, or extra vibration, this replaces them. Because these serve as the top mounts on both front struts, they're typically replaced as a matched pair for balanced ride quality side to side.
