KYB Suspension Strut Mount Kit P/N:SM5871
Quiet a harsh, rattly front end and support smoother steering with the KYB strut mount kit SM5841, a front suspension strut mount kit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2012 Ford Explorer. KYB strut mounts replace old, hardened vibration insulators that transmit noise and jarring impacts into the cabin, cushioning road bumps to reduce noise and vibration. Because the front bearing plates serve as the steering pivots and help support vehicle weight, they are critical to steering feel and wheel alignment.
If worn front strut mounts are the source of clunks, memory steer, or a vibrating, noisy ride, this kit replaces them. Always inspect and service related suspension components as directed by the vehicle service procedure.
