Quiet a harsh, noisy front ride with the KYB strut mount kit (P/N SM5699), a front strut mount bushing kit with spring seat that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2021 Nissan Frontier, 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder, 2005-2015 Nissan Xterra, and 2009-2012 Suzuki Equator. Old, hardened insulators transmit road impacts, noise and vibration into the cabin; this suspension strut mount kit replaces them at the top of the front strut, where the mount locates the strut and the bearing acts as the steering pivot while helping support vehicle weight.
KYB strut mounts and bearing plates are known for high quality, restoring proper mount function so the front suspension can work as intended.

What are signs my front strut mounts may need replacing?
Signs include noise, clunking or vibration from the front strut area, harsh ride over bumps, and stiff or notchy steering. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both front strut mounts at once?
Replacing both front mounts together is a good practice so the front suspension wears and performs evenly side to side.
