Silence a noisy, harsh-riding front suspension with the KYB strut mount kit SM5459, a direct-fit replacement for the front position on the 1998-2002 Mazda 626. It replaces old, hardened vibration insulators with fresh mounts and bearing plates that cushion road impacts and cut the noise and vibration worn mounts transmit into the cabin. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
As the front strut mount and bearing kit for the 626, this assembly is critical to steering feel and wheel alignment. If worn front strut mounts are the source of your clunking, binding steering, or excess vibration, replacing them with this KYB kit addresses that failure point. Inspect and align as directed by the vehicle service procedure after installation.
