KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5681
Help quiet a harsh, noisy front end with the KYB strut mount SM5514, a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1990-1997 Honda Accord, 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey and 1997-1999 Acura CL; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. Built as a mount plate with insulator, it replaces old, hardened front mounts that transmit road shock, noise and vibration into the cabin.
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. Replacing both front mounts together is recommended for balanced ride quality side to side.
