Cushion road impacts and quiet the vibration and noise that old, hardened insulators transmit into the cabin with the KYB strut mount kit SM5461. This front strut mount and bearing assembly drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer and 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Outlander — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications. As a suspension strut mount kit, it locates the top of the strut and, because the front bearing plate serves as the steering pivot and supports vehicle weight, it is critical to steering feel and wheel alignment.
If worn, hardened mounts are the source of your front-end clunks, harshness or bind in the steering, this KYB assembly replaces them.
