KYB SM5642 front strut mount kit for the 2008-2014 Lexus IS F and other vehicles replaces old, hardened vibration insulators. The front bearing plate is a steering pivot and supports vehicle weight, which ties it to steering performance and wheel alignment.
- Strut mount cushions road-bump impacts to reduce the jarring effect
- Rubber that reduces noise, vibration and harshness
- Mount bearings give smoother steering and help retain front end alignment
- Matched grade studs and nuts
