Cushion the jolts from rough pavement with the KYB shock mount SM5257. This rear upper shock/strut mount replaces old, hardened vibration insulators that send noise and vibration into the vehicle. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci, 2001-2006 BMW 330Ci and 2001-2005 BMW 325i, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

Like other KYB top mounts, this unit sits at the upper end of the rear shock. There it helps absorb the impacts from road bumps and reduce the jarring effect, noise and vibration that worn mounts transmit into the vehicle. KYB builds its mounts as Original Equipment quality replacement components designed for each application.

  • Rubber isolation: KYB's superior rubber is designed to reduce noise, vibration and harshness.
  • Application-specific design: OE-quality replacement components are designed for each application to help optimize suspension performance.
  • Impact cushioning: The mount helps soften bump impacts that hardened insulators pass into the body.
  • Hardware: Matched grade studs and nuts.

Signs this mount may need replacing include knocking or clunking from the rear over bumps, added vibration, and rubber that looks cracked, hardened or separated. Diagnose the cause first. If a worn rear upper mount is the source, this part replaces it.
