KYB Suspension Strut Mount P/N:SM5053
Silence road-bump harshness and keep your front suspension composed with the KYB strut mount SM5933, a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Scion tC. This front suspension strut mount cushions impacts from bumps to reduce the jarring, noise and vibration that old, hardened insulators transmit into the vehicle.
As a KYB shock mount and top mount, it addresses squeaks, groans and clunking that can develop as the original mount's rubber hardens. If a failed strut mount is the source of those symptoms, replacing it with SM5933 restores the correct isolation and steering-pivot function. Mounts wear on both sides, so inspect the opposite corner and consider a KYB strut mount kit approach by replacing both front mounts together for balanced ride quality.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does the KYB SM5933 strut top mount fit?
It is a direct-fit front suspension strut mount for the 2005-2010 Scion tC. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm it matches your exact vehicle.
What does a front strut mount do?
It cushions road-bump impacts to reduce noise and vibration, and its front bearing plate acts as the steering pivot while helping support vehicle weight, so it affects steering performance and wheel alignment.
What are the signs my strut mount may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking or groaning noises over bumps or when turning, added vibration, and hardened or cracked rubber. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
Does the SM5933 come with mounting hardware?
Yes, this KYB strut mount includes matched grade studs and nuts. Always follow the vehicle service information for the correct torque and fastener reuse guidance.
Should I replace both front strut mounts at the same time?
It is recommended. Since both sides wear at a similar rate, replacing the pair together helps keep ride quality and steering feel balanced. This listing is for one mount.
